    I wanted the flexibility to compensate for upgraded swingarm and difference in shock length.

    Original shock is 312mm
    K51000 shock is 319mm

    both have a shock stroke of 70

    I have a k2 1000 in my 750 and I'm using a 180/60 rear tyre to be honest I love the way it feels

    so you are 60mm lower at the front, and 7mm higher at the back. might be a bit twitchy.

    7mm extra length in the back shock will be more at the wheel...

    Might be time to order some fork extensions from Extreme?

    My guess is that they should be fine, original fork stems sat about 40mm higher through the top yoke and I will have the K5 fork stems sitting flush.

    OK, I need your thoughts, my original swingarm pivot bolt is a smaller diameter than the 05 pivot bolt.

    However, the threaded ends of the o5 pivot bolt is too small a diameter for the 89 frame.

    I am thinking of getting a sleeve made for the 89 pivot bolt so it fits the o5 swing arm but unsure who can make one.

    Contact Ben, he may have the old drawings from when I did my swingarm swap for the 7/11. He made me the double threaded sleave for the frame to new pivot bolt.

    Try that one more time mate as we were playing with his email accounts on the day you sent yours and it might not have made it.
