Has anyone completed this mod? I have the shock bolted into the top shock mount, however, I cannot get it bolted into the bottom. It seems as if the shock is just too long.
Depending on how far you have the rear raised, it should allow you to drop the swingarm far enough to get it in. On my bandit shock, I had to modify the shock knuckle to get it to clear the shock, so I could get the bottom bolt in. I took an angle grinder to the rear of the knuckle to make clearance for the side of the shock.
It is hitting the knuckle and will not allow me to get the bolt through. However, what I gather is that it would be ok to grind it just a bit to allow for the clearance.
maybe take the dogbones off the lower nuckle and then mount the shock, and then you will see how and where the dogbones need to go.
