what is the eye to eye on your current shock. find that out then look on the fox website for size offerings of that shock.

take a ruler and measure your shock from the hole on the one end where it connects to your swing arm to the point where it connects to your front triangle. this is the eye to eye length.

take a measuring tape then measure from the middle of the bottom bolt to the top bolt of your shock..essentially a dhx 5 WILL fit on you bike, you just need to buy one that is the same legnth as your vanilla

dude there are many eye to eyes for a vanilla r...7.5in.8.5 in ect..try checking to see if the specialized site has the information for you

they vary from bike to bike you have to make sure the length is the one meant for your bike

essentially, the dhx 5 and the vanilla have the same eye to eye options..but lets say you have a vanilla.you will have a wide range of eye to eyes to choose from..other wise you would only see vanillas on big hits..and not on any other bikes lol
