I used the 94-01 elite shock because i managed to find an engine with half a frame.
And i just relocated the shock mount right under the VR mount

IIRC the spree shock is about 1/4'' longer than the elite shock but it has a little different coil over. Im guessing that the elite shock is a bit stiffer because the elite is rated for a heavier rider, so the shock has to support that much more weight. All a guess though
Complete NOOB, sorry dudes
