Nope, not really unless you modify the mounting points. (which I wouldn't advice)
Best option: different shock from perhaps a africa twin? (I think it was that one)

Hi IrishNTV650, hope all well.
I too looked into this at some point last year for on my bike...
Previous owner replaced rear sub-frame. (Unfinished Project.)
First looked at Transalps & I'm sure I found a fitment in there.
But after messaging seller for dimensions; I bid on an XL600...
I came up short in the last few seconds, lol! (Seems standard!)
Can't remember length of units now, but they weren't manic...
Since cut off sub-frame & am scratch building the replacement,
so; Won't need to raise suspension... But, who knows, lol!
Please post your solution should you proceed...

thanks for the help guy's,i havnt done anything as of yet,after more thought if i rise her by say 2" then its going to put off my suspension geometry,she would have a shorter wheel bas,i drive pretty hard on twisty road's so im considering leaving it standard height,i do though have a hagon adjustagle shock so tightened up the spring to reduce the riding sag and the idle sag i have the tail unit on now and just have to get ducati rear light's,im driving her every day so it looks really nuts at the minute because i bolted the original light back on and cable ties the number plat underneath and the original indicator a cable tied to the rear frame,rough i know but it does it's job and since the quay's in dublin city have a speed limit of 30kph my cable tie number plate isnt very fond of the wind  |
