25DC rear shocks

[smitpet]

Hi Guys, do any of you know what length the rear shock absorbers should be on a 1964 25DC Sports twin, the ones fitted to mine push the swinging arm down so far that the centre stand is a good 1/2" clear of the ground when it should be supporting the machine, any assistance greatly appreciated.
