XTZ660 Project
 

Hi all,new to the forum so I'll start with a question.I have a 1998 XTZ660 which has been in a minor accident, "the project bike".I intend rebuilding with better suspension travel and fuel capacity among many other ideas that I have for it.I already have an XR400 front end but am not sure what would fit the rear end that will give me better travel.I have considered a shock off a TT600 but don't have any measuremants and don't know whether it has the same fittings on both ends.Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.Even a link to a shockie chart that has eye to eye measurements for different bikes would be helpful.By the way,this is project is being put together as I finds the parts on ebay etc so any suggestion of Ohlins etc is way out of my budget:crying:.

Cheers
Andrew

sizes
 

my fear is that rear shock of a XTZ660 has different sizes from standard XT\TT shocks.

These are the sizes I know, http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...681#post159635 have a look and compare with yours.Xt\TT Ohlins are rare, but you can find them on ebay for about 200\300 euros sometimes, if size is compatible.

Thanks Cyberzar,that's the sort of chart I'm looking for:thumbup1:.Any idea where I can get a similar chart with different brands and models so that I can get some measurements and see if any other types of shock will fit.I'm sure there must be a rear shockie off of another bike that has the same fittings (with maybe a little modification) but also give me that extra 60mm of travel I'm after.

Cheers

Hmm I did this chart using all the data I had from the shocks passed in my hands... if you take all sizes from your shock and send me, I can give you some advices on what shock you can use... basically ohlins shocks can also be modified in lenght, if needed.

I'll see what I can do over the next few days as the shock is still in the bike at the moment.Taking a quick measurement the eye to eye length seems to be around 330mm.Is the linkage system the same for the TT,XT range of bikes.
