Stock length or shorter would be ideal. I just need something that doesnt have a lot of give. Im not concerned one tiny bit about ride quality here I just need to keep my tire off my frame. The lower shock mounts are getting moved forward so that will help some but its not going to completely solve the problem. Any ideas?

 
What exactly are you trying to build out of it? Im not being smart im literally just asking because it sort of looks like a hybrid between a bobber and street tracker?!?

Sportster shocks would probably be your best bet.

Good call. Id like to keep it as stock looking as possible (eye to clevis) but this might be a winner.

I was thinking struts

If all else fails this is what Ill do. Im not a fan of them tho. Had them on the sporty before I put the burly slammer shocks on it.

How do you not slide off the seat and lose your gentleman's bits to that rear tire?

Still a lot of work to do my man. There is more kick up on the hoop than it seems in that picture. Its going to have a fender too.

 
you dont have a clue what you are doing do you?
moving the shocks forward on the swinger will increase the rear wheel travel even more than you already have,and then you will need even stiffer shocks and a chain tensioner to boot
your best bet is to step away from the welder and just put struts in there
it will be cool as fuk
 
Moving the shock mounts forward will raise the rear of the bike and increase the distance from the tire to the frame. That paired with shocks that aren't pure garbage like the stock units will solve the issue. My sportster has 2 1/4in between the rear tire and the fender and it doesn't bottom out because it has stiff ass shocks on it.

I have literally no idea what you're getting at here. If you want to debate it we can. This isn't rocket science and I know exactly what I'm doing I just don't know where to find a specific part.

Negative nancy. This Is a simple problem and a simple solution. Increase ride height and decrease shock travel. Then the tire doesn't hit the frame.
