    Hello, what is the travel length on the 1981 Yamaha XJ550 Maxim rear air shocks? As in, how much length is "gained" when air is applied (from no air or minimum ride pressure to maximum ride pressure). I am wondering if the ride height gets raised and lowered and if so, how much? Thank you!

    The ride height is not adjusted via the air shocks. You're effectively adjusting the spring preload.
