Im going to be swapping the OEM shock to a ZZR1400 one fairly soon and while Im at it, I thought I would replace the standard rubber brake hose at the back.

I have heard that you need a longer hose if you do this shock swap. Is that the case? If so, what is the length of the standard hose please and how much longer must a new one be to cope with the slightly taller shock?

Many thanks
