Hey guys,

Yes, well spotted.

The only Onlins shocks i found were 15mm longer.

I have pushed the forks tube through the triple clamps but what i should of done was remove and reweld the mounting brackets on the swingarm further down to compensate.

Cheers

Hey Tim,
I wouldn't go cuttin' up your swingarm, just get some spacers put in the shocks to shorten them to the correct length.
Much simpler…

It's too easy to just put a spacer in the shocks, you can get them from Cramers or have a couple made. There will still be plenty of shock travel there.
