Did any one ever answer or do you know whether fitting an RSVR swinging arm raises the rear ride height or is it still the same as the standard swinging arm ..........think i maybe doing it next week and am trying to find out as much as poss before i get in there to butcher it .......have mechanical friend on speed dial for when i f##k up !!!

iirc the geometry is the same

Ok that sounds great , so in theroy as the shock is adjusted to the correct height i like now when i re-fit it to the new swinging arm nothing should have changed re ride height at the back ? My only real worry is trying to remove the exhaust pipes to get the arm off ........fingers crossed it all goes well and they undo nice and easy .........YA RIGHT !!!

A 3/8th wobble bar extension kit does the job nicely

Bluddy handy addition to your tool box matey

Like normal socket extension bars but they have semi-rounded ends so you have a few degrees of movement. Much easier to use and stronger than a universal joint

Got me out of many a tight corner I can tell you
