Sinto: Yeah, easy enough to swap springs providing you have a vice and appropriate motorcycle shock spring compressors.
Risticuss: I think the shock is about 320mm from eyelet centre-to-centre. I think the later 2012 onwards version of the Beemer shock is a little bit shorter (315mm?), but then the linkage have to rotate upwards & backwards to attach, causing the shock spring to foul the crossbrace.
Either way, the centrestand would definitely have to go, therefore ruling the mod out for most riders. A pity indeed as it looks well and I am led to believe it performs very nicely too
