Both swingarm's are 4.5". What do you mean "the rear shock doesn't work"?

I meant *rims. But i just realized you are from overseas and aren't talking about a swinger from a '94 YZF swinger(stateside).

the shock mounting point it a longer distance from the pivot, so it will affect movement and the angle the shock sits at. What it the ride height difference from old to new? different dog bones may help cure the problem by bringing the levels back to normal.

You need a softer spring on the shock. This happens after swinger swaps unfortunately...
