Elsinore for the vertically challenged

[cleopatrisha]

1979 honda cr125 came with 17.5 inch rear shocks. I am wondering if I can put shorter 15 inch rear shocks on it and raise the forks up in the triple tree so its easier for shorter people to reach the ground. I realize this mod will do something to the geometry of the bike but its not going to be used as a competition bike its just for riding around the farm any suggestions on what shocks I can use ??

Shocks

You can buy Progressive shocks in various lenghts to fit. My 79 Husky had 17.5 shocks and I put 16.5. Reasonably priced also.
