Don't get tricked!!

I typed "Honda CB750 shocks" into Ebay.
One of the listings is by Nichesupply or Niche Cycle Supply.
The ad says 365mm length.

Now how many inches is that? Well it is over 14 inches!!!!

But since some people will not think to check that and since they typed in
"Honda CB750 shocks" into Ebay search they may think that they will get the shocks that fit their Honda CB750.

I feel like they are deceiving people because they do not give the measurement in inches.
This is the United States. We think in inches mostly. If it was in Europe they will know that the length is too long for a stock bike.

I am just saying BE CAREFUL about buying when the measurements are ONLY in mm's.

 YER CORRECT
But also some mesure the
                                     complete shock
                                                           some center of hole to center of hole
         then top of shock to center hole
                                                if you can read this youv'e been through it already
but great point.

14.37 inches to be precise.  Almost 14 3/8.  Divide mm by 25.4

Hmm...a donk-ed out CB750?  Can you fit 22 inch rims on this bike?

Yes, of course I'm kidding.

By the way...I got a resp0nse from Niche Supply and they admonished me.

"These are for Japanese bikes and all measurements are in metric.... this is not for a Harley Davidson's they are Japanese bike parts for Japanese bikes, all parts dimension for metric bikes are in metric, designed using the metric system by a country that manufactures using the metric system. That is why we call them METRIC BIKES!"



If I owned that company this is what I would say,
Thanks for pointing that out, we will include the inches measurement
as well as the metric measurement to make sure there is no misunderstanding.

After that reply I would never buy anything from them

Exactly.
If I was selling something in their country I would be polite and use measurements that
they could understand. It is only the polite thing to do.
