    Do you know the length of the 750 shock? The 11 takes an 11.5 inch shock, and the lower eye bushings are different sizes on the XS. You can press the bushings out of the XS shock and swap them into the 750 shock if you decide to go that route.

        That would be eye to eye. You could use a shorter shock, but you will have side and centerstand issues. They will need shortening.
