Post photos of OEM and RaceTech spring side-by-side.
Post photos of suspension.
Does it have rising-rate linkage? Or is shock attached directly to swingarm?

I don't know what you call this linkage Danno I guess it's a rising link setup
like the 2012 ninja but the link is reversed and the shock on the other side
the shock is not hooked directly to the swing arm....
the dog bones are not the same as on the ninja it's a u shaped arm arrangement that hooks to the frame and then to the lower link and then the lower link hooks to the swing arm and the shock the movement is very small
like 2" max the rear travel is something like 4.5" is all
Peter Youngblood is sending me 3 springs for free all I have to do is reimburse him for the shipping.... but I think I will add a bit to that <Grin>
....I doubt those springs will help but it will give me more options !
as the one that works for him is on his bike hehehehe !
..... we'll see what happens !
