in the realm of mods, you can also buy a swingarm off ebay, and relocate the shock mounts back.... grinding and welding involved though... probably a darn sight easier than trying to thread the hardened shock shaft.... back in the olden days (when men were men, and sheep were nervous), they used to sell a bracket that would bolt to your existing shock mount, and had another shock mount further back.... would give a 2" drop to the rear.... as this is a "wetsump" motor, if you drop the tail, you should drop the nose too, otherwise the change in angle of the motor can result in lubrication problems, as splash resevoirs, oil return galleries, and even the sump pickup can be affected by the change in angle....
