What Bonanza Rear Shocks are these?

[adiel]

What Bonanza Rear Shocks are these. They have about 13-5/16" eye to eye. Are they from a BC1500? I was looking for some BC1300 shocks and I think I got the wrong ones. :doah:

Thanks,
Adiel

I think they are off a Rupp. Some Rupps used those shocks that were longer than the Bonanza ones.

You might be able to put the Bonanza springs in there and shorten the outer tube.

also I think Early bonanza shocks were shorter then later BC bikes. The top shock mount was lower on the Early bikes.
