Katman, It appears that you changed swingarms from your original thread to allow for mounting of works shock. It also appears that you moved the center of the hole for the shock mount about 1" further forward. Is my observation correct? If yes did that raise ride height in the rear a smidge?Comment

Yes... very close observation dude. I sold my old swing(b12) cuz I went with the WORKS shocks with the eye-eye mounting. My old swing had a clevis mount. They are moved forward because my shocks are actually 12.5" instead of the 13" stock. I have a ride height adjustment on them to raise it up further but as it sits it is higher than stock.Originally posted by isleoman
I am planning on posting a pic of the dead stock suspension kat beside my Resto-Mod to show the differences such as ride height, looks, header clearance.Comment

Katman,
Thanks for the confirmation. I have my bandit arm set at your original location but in hind site might have moved it forward to gain some height in rear. Maybe this clarification should go in your other thread concerning GSXR conversions. Note: I didn't ask my question there!!
I have Ohlins piggy backs but not sure how long they are compared to stock. I do know that even with the stock swing arm my piggy back canister was rubbing on the center stand lift assist handle on the left side of bike. It probably is going to be worse with the bandit arm in your original location.
I have another bandit arm but am waiting till I get some ride time before I try to fix something that might not be broken.
Where I work R&D stands for Rip Off and Deceive so you shouldn't be too surprise by more observation skills.

you have to be very careful with that mod. if you move the shocks up too far or use too long a shock the chain will drag across the top of the swing.Comment
