I'm getting a houser +1.25 swingarm very soon. I was wondering if I would have to revalve the rear shock for it, or if I could get away with just turning up the compression and rebound adjustments on the shock. I really don't want to UPS my shock somewhere to get it revalved, but if I have to I will.

no, you dont have to, i just got a houser +1.25 right after i got my new shock and it feels the same as when i had the stock lenght on as far as smoothness and not bottoming out

You probly won't notice a difference. If you do just crank up your compression and quiken your rebound a few clicks. I am going from a +3 to a stock length. If you think you need it valved just send it to LRD being your not to far away. They did my shock and it is unbelievably better.

I doubt you are getting it "real soon". I ordered mine, and was told a week to ten days. Six weeks later, I cancelled it because I got tired of waiting.

I destroyed a +1 swingarm that had an Axis shock valved for a stock length swingarm. I never felt like I was hitting hard, but it was too hard for the shock to handle. I highly suggest the revalve. Been there, made that mistake.
