DSS 1098 shock install, with questions

[BK_856er]

Can anyone recomend a longer ride hieght adjuster?  5 threads does seam to be the max setting on the factory monster peice.  The bike still feels a little low in the back for my tastes, I wouldn't mind going up another 10-15mm.  I'm still up in the air if I will keep the shock or not.  The price was good on it, I would love to go to an ohlins but I think the 848 would be more deserving of that.

I have the Eastern Cycle unit, which they customized for me to achieve stock height to plus one inch, as opposed to their off the shelf "lowering link" which goes in the other direction.  Seems to work well 12k miles later.  If your 1098 shock was shorter you may well need to compensate with a customized link.  Ideally you have some baseline measurements to work from so you know what ride height you are trying to target.  Regardless, please physically confirm that the reservoir will not make contact with the tire at full travel.  That sort of thing can cause a crash.

It has been awhile but I finaly got the time to get this sorted out.  Removing the rear fender has given me enough clearance that it will not rub with just me on it on the street.  Under full compression the res. will touch the rear tire.  A 999 adjuster is longer than the monsters by about 20mm.  One will be going on soon to solve the problem, it should end up being about 10mm - 15mm higher in the rear than stock when done.
With the sag set at 30mm the bike rides great, I'm still unsure what spring was installed on the shock though it is softer than a stock 1098.  The only problem I have with it is that having better rear suspension has made me realize how bad the front is.  Luckly I have a set of 998 forks in the garage waiting on funds for a respring & tripple tree.
