So got this 150 for free. Starts revs, ect. Only problem is the belt went and 1 rear shock snapped.

I test rode it and lets just say no fuckin way i'm riding it with 1 shock

Anyways do the replacements have to be identical size to the old or can I just replace both with a new pair 1-2 mm over or under?

Will any of these work?

I'm mainly concerned about it being too tall or too short and the bolt sizes not matching up.

A little guidance is greatly appreciated!

I think you're wise to be patient. Too long or too short can put everything in the wrong place and potentially cause damage. Or just feel and look weird.

Our dealer folk will pipe in soon and give some guidance. The specific make/model will be very useful.

With shocks, the bolt size is the main concern. So long as you can make that work, 1-2mm in height difference is not going to matter. There are actually special mounting brackets sold to lower the rear end by altering the shock mount. You have at least an inch to play with on the rear shocks.

I replaced the shocks on my Magna with some shadow shocks.
Only thing I had to do was use a different bushing size, which came with the new progressive shocks
Shouldn't be a problem using 2 new shocks with such a small diff length
