So if I put Vulcan 500 shocks on my KZ750H, how much lower will the back end sit? A picture was posted of a KZ650 with Vulcan shocks on it, and it didn't seem any lower at all.

Sorry, I saw your earlier post and meant to measure the shocks but I got distracted. I just measured the Vulcan shocks and they are 12" eye to eye. This should lower your bike by 1 1/4" I think. As to your question on the model year on the Vulcan shocks it doesn't matter they are all the same.

I used Yamaha Virago shocks on mine. It was a small bike,maybe a 500. Those shocks were 11".

I could not ride two up. Roy
