Sorry, I remember telling you that I would measure it last week. I got buried and it slipped my mind. I just measured my 900 and it seems to be about 12.5 from the tip to the base of the arc, so the measurement is the same as yours. That makes sense, considering the bodywork is all interchangable between the 750 and the 900. Sounds like they are just feeding you a line to try to get you to go away. How did the rest of the bodywork fit?
