How will the shock compress since it's now below the swing arm pivot?

Also consider exhaust routing, and possible ground clearance issues (which there probably will be none, but still)

the shock will compress from the front ala linkage. It only hangs down about a 1/4 inch more than stock. Im building a full exhaust, again, so i wont have any clearance issues.

Just a note, I bottom my header from time to time, doesn't do much to a piece of steel pipe, but I'm sure a shock would complain more.

Also, I'm pretty sure all the heat from the pan and exhaust wouldn't be too great for the shock either.

ya im gonna be real cautious about bottiming out the shock. Im also going to build a carbon fiber heat sheld to keep some radiant heat out of the shock. It cant be any worse than the 999. the rear header is all over that shock.

these are the moving parts of the suspension. The swingarm on the left, with tabs welded on. The rocker plates and mount welded to the engine case. The lower rod. And the arm in the front. The arm is actually pretty complex in 2 dimensions. The shock will be on the other side of the lower rod. And the rear of the shock will be mounted to the engine case with more weld on tabs.

You think the case can handle the stress that it will get through that tab?

Please don't forget the Heat Affected Zone on the motor due to welding of tabs  Tongue

Im not sure that will make a difference if things are braced correctly.  Plus, if he has a modern day TIG machine (mine's really old) he can pretty much eliminate the HAZ using controls on the machine.

Mine just welds, I can't manipulate the wave form or anything cool like that Sad

I think it's from a newer style Supersport.

Huh?

And I'll add to that,  bacon.
