The important thing is that it has the right eye to eye length (8.25" or ~210mm) and will fit between the plates on the swingarm and frame (you may have to order new bushings or machine them down yourself).

Also, the spring weight has to match your weight and the stroke travel should match what you want to get out of the shock. The wheel/shock travel ratio is approximately 2.7/1 (for quick reference). People have successfully used shocks with eye to eye lengths of 7.75 - 8.5, depending on your front shock and your riding style...

Sorry, I have to go up to the attic and have been dragging my feet on it.  The SC superlights do have the same i2i length as the one I'm selling.  I think it is 500 or 550#, I will look tonight and repost.  Check the Progressive suspension website for specs on the SC superlights, I know that some of the original Hecklers had a stroke of 2 and then they went to 2.3 in 03 or 04 models.
