    Workshop manual lists both measurements.

    Ah my bad. Now that I think about it, I think it was rather a case that I ignore the hub to guard measurements as I have cut guards with White Tiger flares so they're irrelevant to me.

    Do you have them installed ?

    Are you happy with the ride ?

    I need to get some new springs soon and am thinking kings+2, as I'm setting up for short touring trips, but wondering what shocks will suit me best...

    Maybe my expectations were a little high, but they seem a bit stiff. In saying that, the ride is pretty good, and massively different to riding on bumpstops

    Oh and I gained 50mm - so I'm now at the required height of 500mm from hub to guard
