Hello, I have a few questions about the rear shocks for a Honda CB750.- I am actually planning on using them for a very lightweight homemade car and want to be sure they´re appropriate.
What is the extended length (center of bolt holes)
What is the compressed length (center of bolt holes)
What is the diameter in the spring area?
What is the spring rate? I´m hoping to find something in the 220-260 lb range.

If the spring rate is very different from the above range, could you suggest another "heavy" motorcycle that may have more appropriate shocks?

In case you are wondering about the car, it´s called a Locost and is basically a homebuilt Lotus 7.

Thanks for your help,
Eric
