I hope I'm not going to have a real problem. I'm about to use a set of 13.25
shocks on my Ambo. Anyone know of any real problems with that?

 When I built the Eldo (same frame), I used 13s to give me a little more
ground clearance and to sharpen up the steering to some tiny theoretical
amount. No problems with the rear wheel not getting off the ground on
the centerstand. I think Guzziology recommends 13s to give a little
more angle to the swingarm and keep the oil from migrating.

approx 12.5" or approx. 13" . Anybody know why/reason/better choice,
etc.?
