The other issue has to do with my chain guard in that it's hitting the horizontal cylinder on the shock. We've bent the mount for the guard out of the way, and will permanently fix it in due time.. All in all, it's a very easy swap to do, and I know it'll vastly improve my ride. The only "other" thing we had to do was grind away some of the bottom mount area because it was catching on the shock knuckle. There are a couple of pics closeup of what I am talking about..
Enjoy:
Bushing installed on top mounting bracket. The R6 shock mount is slightly wider than the stock FZR one, so these spacers/bushings were milled out of aluminum.
Just a close-up of the lower mounting bracket.. Damn I need to get rid of some of that grime down there.. meh.. I'll get to it.
Another shot from up top. Fits nicely.
Here you can see the 138mm dogbones installed on the bike as well as the area that needed to be ground off the lower mounting bracket on the shock. Otherwise you cannot get the bolt through it. Nothing a little grinder couldn't fix in 30 seconds.. Another note is that the current dogbones I put on there are considerably thicker than the stock ones. I don't think it's going to make much of a difference in the end, however if I notice anything off, I'll just re-mill some more out of a thinner aluminum..
Pretty much the same as the one before it.
Another view from the top, with the battery box reinstalled.
One final shot from the back.. It's complete.
