Re: length of the rear spring-m151a1
I got something weird going on with mine. I do not know if the previous owner put longer springs on the rear but, I guessing he did.One side is at about 22 degrees and the other is dang near 35.

m151 or m151a1? Curious cause the spare is an early mag rim. I don't see a slot for the gas tank strap for a straight though now that I look closer...
Always possible somebody swapped in the wrong springs for some reason. Sure you are not just used to the design? Everybody that takes a look at mine always asks why the rear tires look canted in so much from bottom to top \----/ and I have to explain about how it was first built and why the design was changed to trailing arms.

Re: length of the rear spring-m151a1
If it has shocks they are the wrong ones since they are what limits the suspension travel.
