Modified by welding 10 mm washers on to the mount.

Different bike, but the EX500 is known for keyholing the top shock mount holes if they're not completely tight, even with the stock parts.
I bought a 12mm reamer bit and used a drill press to enlarge the mounting holes in my SV shock. The metal bushing in the top mount had enough spare material that this was doable. The 12mm reamer actually resulted in tighter holes than the stock shock had.
