I was thinking about it. Off setting isn't a good idea. The chain would ride on an angle wiping out the chain or sprockets. Maybe damaging the bearing. Spreading the swing arm could cause cracks at the welds unless it is heated and bent. Two slight bends. I welded frames and was a finish welder for three years until I was 21. Wheel chars and medical equipment but the principals are the same. Just let it cool off on it's own. That way the swing arm will be wider on one side with a spacer to make up the difference. We're only talking 1/4-1/2" here.

The zrx have an offset rear wheel as standard!

The ZRX 1200 is, the 1100 isn't. The offsetting of the rear wheel isn't a big deal. As I stated earlier, have you tried just flipping the shocks upside down as the coil spring is larger in diameter compared to the shock body above the preload ring. So you could probable gain at least a 1/4" of clearance..... Just a thought...

You may be able to spread your swingarm open enough to get a spacer or some washers on the left side.This may give you enough clearance.

Sorry I couldn't get a pick, but this is pretty much exactly where I am, except that the rivets on the chain actually touch the spring.

GS1100 swingarm with new shock mounts welded on??

What about flipping the shocks upside down? I believe the upper mount/body is considerable narrower than the spring section. Might give you enough.

530 chain is the same inside width as a 630, but they can be a tiny bit thinner depending on the brand. The other option might be to go up a tooth or two on your front sprocket to use a smaller rear sprocket which might give you some more clearance.
