Yep. The wait is over. Just got this in the mail today from Ne-oublie. I'll let him provide the specifics, but here's a pic to get things going.

I think I answered my own question, if that grind is to clear the shock, you have a longer aftermarket shock in there.Last edited by wcj; 04-23-2008, 08:58 PM.

excellent, something I have thought about a year ago. glad to see that neoblie can now help out pre98 owners. as chris has said on here, you might be able to use the post98 lower knuckle, so the spacers there would not be needed.
this really opens up possibilities for pre98 kat owners as they can use other shocks from other bikes and keep their stock height.
now the key to that set up is that the links where they join the swingarm still makes the stock hook? got some pictures of just the links?

The links should lower the Kat about 1.5" from the current height. In my case, since the B12 shock raised it about 1.5-2", so this should take me back to about stock, but on a stock height Kat, it should lower it about 1.5".

Yes, the bolt hole for the swingarm is offset like the stock dogbones. Ive got a 1 mo old sleeping on my chest otherwise, Id take a pic.

Had a chance to loosely bolt thing up.

Doesnt look to have any interference with the shock or swingarm.Last edited by wcj; 04-26-2008, 07:08 PM. Reason: Edit: No center-stand interference is experienced with a stock Kat shock.

It was mentioned that some people were not using the stock bushing on the swingarm end. It is VERY IMPORTANT to slide the stock bushing into the link/spacers on the swingarm end. The bushing is what you torque to and allows the links to pivot. If you do not use the bushing and torque to the links, you will cause the suspension to bind as well as have 5mm of slop in the suspension.
