Hmm;  the Sportster needs unusually long shocks for a streetbike (14"-14 1/2")  I wonder if this strategy could be employed there.  I'd rather change the mounts, but they are already pretty goofy on the swingarm end, and making a tower to allow a regular-length shock is not going to improve things in the looks dept.   Sometimes the eye ends unthread from the rod, I wonder if I could find a set I could replace with longer pieces...
  Excellent bodge, Dave.

Looks awesome;  really tough.  Not for the weak of constitution or stumpy of leg...

That's ok, ride it like it was meant to and the front doesn't touch the ground much.
I live with fear and danger everyday, but sometimes I leave her at home and go motorcycling.
