Not trying to kill a sale, but your moto shocks will be to short to work with the Houser arms, so maybe you should include them in on the trade. :deal:

I'm confused.......the Houser LT uses a 19 1/4" shock. That's the same length as my moto Ohlins.

The moto shocks are actually around 19", and Houser take 19.5". I know that doesn't seem like much, but I have tried it, and the ride height sits to low.

I have seen what Doug is talking about. The ride sucks when you mix the 19" moto shocks with the Houser long travel.

I cant remember for sure how long but there are internal spacers in the moto shocks.If they are 1/2in or more it would be easy to remove them which would give you 19 1/2 or more.Blaze shocks have almost 3 inches of spacers inside so you could make a Blaze shock into a 19 in shock also.

According to Jeff @ The Quadshop, It's a no go. I have the same problem with a set of Houser LT +1's. I guess I'll be waiting for Eric @ rated X to make some +1 LT's.
