You could pick up a piece of all thread and some sort of heim joints from tractor supply or someplace like that to make a quick/cheap adjustable strut for figuring locations as long as you know the compressed and free length of your shock. B)

Thanks Wireman. I was out in the shop tonight looking at the arm in varous angles and watching chain tension and stuff. I think I have it figured out. We will see :whistle:

Hopefully get the sub frame done today. Trying to decide on length of tail/seat and height of. I am leaning towards raising the sub frame about an inch above stock. Pics are of it raised about where I am thinking. Not sure on length yet. I shortened the front 2 inchs,Could go another inch or two maybe.

Moved this from another thread to my project page to keep it all together. Ghetto rearsets. Shifter side is from a Kawi Concours and works great
