Rear shock question...

[Afzzr12]

Buddha, 

I don't see any side loading going on if the last coil is ground a little so it doesn't touch the swingarm at full extension.  If there is no contact at full extension then there will not be any contact in any other position. 

I would not grind much off the last coil or the swingarm.  Only a very little from each one just to get 1/16" clearance or so.  Don't need much, just enough to avoid contact.

Cool info seamax, I'm planning to do the same conversion and was wondering about having to grind the swing arm.  Couple questions:  What color spring does your R6 shock have?  I have a red one.  I think I remember reading that there is also a yellow one and something is different between the 2.  Do you run the stock airbox?  Did the shock with the stock dog bones have the same seat height as the original GS shock?  Thanks!

I have the red one. I run kn pods but I don't think the stock air box would get in the way because it looks like there is plenty of room from my pods to the shock. And the stock dog bones with the r6 shock has the same seat height.

what jets you running with pods?
