I measured in bike which I admit isn't ideal, but it looks to be about 425mm from eye to eye with the swingarm unloaded.

Yes, turn around time is my main issue here, otherwise I would definitely rebuild. Also I still need the bike in working nick so I can train.

I super appreciate the offer to help out with the rebuild! ...but for the reasons above it isn't really a great option for me right now. I'm also currently in rural Western Australia (Gnowangerup: post-code 6335) at the moment so I assume turnaround time would be pretty unmanageable. I can understand your reluctance to part with your spare, but would you consider this offer; $200 for your spare BUT once it arrives I'll also send you my shock in current state which you can rebuild at your leisure. You can either keep my shock as your new spare at that point, or if it isn't quite as nice as the one you've sent me (or too worn to be a rebuild candidate) I will gladly do the swap again after the Finke (shipping at cost to me of course). Let me know what you think!
Also, what is a TTX?
