    You can use the b12 shock. When your having it rebuilt, have them shim the shaft to shorten the stroke, that will decrease the total height it raises the rear of the bike. You need to do this so hard parts don't hit on the linkage (shock his the cushion otherwise).

    Higher tail means the bike is more responsive and quicker in the turns. I highly prefer the height.
