I'm contemplating on modifying the upper shock mounting point. Maybe weld shut the holes and re drilling a 10mm holes a bit lower. That would help with the shock being shorter. I don't want to bring it higher by adding preload. Internet tells me both GSXR and 250R springs are about 9kg/cm. The rear is currently too stiff, because of shortened wheel base and a light rider.
Also lowered mounting would lessen the need to cut the airbox. I'm a firm believer in airboxes, plenums and such.
