Anyone here ever put on a eye to eye and stroke shock different than the stock size? From what I remember, finding aftermarket shocks of same dimensions is quite difficult.

8.75x2.75 is pretty common.

You can put an 8.5x2.5 and get 6" travel, same as a 6Point.

Oh sweet, I'll probably go with 8.75 x 2.75 to be easy.

They're both common sizes.

True. I meant that I want to keep 7" without having to find a 9.0 i2i shock. I already own a 6point actually, going to be switching the parts from that to my 7point frame to have a freeride bike then buying a lighter trail bike (my 6point is 37 pounds).

I heard someone saying that some IH bikes need "special bushings" to mount suspension, but maybe he was just talking about that certain shock... Anyone have any insight?

If someone is interested in buying a 2007 7point5 frame in small with a CCDB, shoot me a pm.

I am not aware of any special bushings for the shock. I have changed my shock and it was not an issue.

so im looking to replace my bash/guide combo for one like this Unsecure image, only https images allowed: http://images-cdn.ecwid.com/images/217371/62702452.jpg but this is 150$, but mrp has cheeper guides(80$) that don't have the bb bracket mounts. does anyone know of any other companies that have good bash/guide combos for a better value?

I'm so glad I have an 08 with ISCG mounts.

You can get ISGC to BB adapters i'm pretty sure

I've got an 06 7point and am in need of bushings. Enduroforkseals seems to only have hardware for 2007+ 7points. Anyone have any suggestions?
