\r\n \r\n Made a spacer for between the top of the rea shock and the frame out of 1/2 inc steel today at work, only took about 5 min and 20 to put on and I now have plenty of room for the tire to bottom out and not smash te 1000rr exhaust. FREE! I love saving money!\r\n

\r\n \r\n I believe it does, look where your shock mount comes through your frame, if you have an extra quarter inch of thread on the other side you have a quarter inch to add on the shock side, depending on how high you want to go, I had a quarter inch free so I just have a 1/4 inch block of steel with a hole drilled into it to use as a spacer. Washer would work but Id assume you would want something more solid if its going to take a beating\r\n

\r\n \r\n When u make that lift for ur shock, u needa weld ur 1/4 square to the original mount on left n right side cus it butts against the lip on the frame and if u just slap a washer or spacer in the shock will spin around and rip ur hose off.. I hada redo mine when someone told me bout it, I looked at mine and sure enough it was turned almost 90 degress already. I grinded the head off the original mount and put a new bolt 3/4in longer thru and spot welded it in and grinded it to clear the top of shock. Then made my spacer out of 1/2in steel and welded down both sides. Its super solid and bike sits more like a 636 or 600rr now.\r\n
