jag767 said:Hiding? There's photos of the other side of the bike in this thread, but as I'm trying to show the exhaust work, and there's no exhaust work to be seen on the other side, that'll be rather silly now wouldn't it 8) ;D
jag767 said:So what happens if change this out? How do I determine which rod I need? Source? I think the right now the swingarm is set too high, shooting the ass into the air. I need to compare with a bobe stock m750, but I'd guess close to 2 inches. Do I need to change out the shock as well?

brad black said:it possibly starts with where the rocker is mounted in relation to the engine and swingarm. if it's mounted the same distance from the swingarm as in a 916, then it should be about right geometry wise. but if it has been mounted relative to the motor, and the pivot is now a bit higher, that will push the wheel end down as both shock bottom and pushrod mount to the arm. shortening one a lot and not the other will change the rocker geometry (might be good or bad).
you could rotate the rear hub so that the eccentric is at the top if it's not already. i'd also pull the shock and remove the spring and refit it with the hub high and fully collapse it to make sure nothing hits anything. on a 916 the wheel will hit the mufflers at full compression as a general rule with the hub high. the hub high will also reduce the chain tension variation too, as the axle will be closer to the "all 3 in a line" point. something raising the swingarm pivot will have made worse.
the fork springs will be a lot heavier than the crap they put in most monsters std too, so it will sit higher. and they may be longer too, i think they are. unscrew the caps off the tubes and let the front collapse and see how much clearance there is. you might be able to pull the forks through the clamps.
