Oh,..it will,....You also need to check for the belt rubbing against the beltguard at the front pulley,.. if it does,.. no biggie, just grind away the offending part of the guard. It's only a tiny bit... My beltguard is off completely 'cause I like it that way...
I also found the belt rubbed very slightly against a side case bolt,... changing it from a hex head to a domed allen head fixed that. It only touched on full shock compression..
The other thing,... the reserve level of your petcock will change... less main, more reserve... trim the main tube of the petcock to adjust that... Raptor petcock has a little less reserve to start with..
Oil site glass will change a bit too... but not significantly...
Whew!... one little thing, makes so many other things different... but that's the nature of modding....
