Hey guys - thanks for the info...especially the eye-to-eye length of the stock WP. It does seem like a waste to change the shock out just to get some ride height, however at the end of the day that's what I suspect I might end up doing. That being said, it's certainly worth a look at the swing arm bearings as described! Thanks again for the info and the confirmation of my own conclusion. B-

Hey All, Just pulled my red 1100i Sport out of hibernation and realized that I hadn't corrected the rear ride height defect that has bugged me the last year or two. In short, I've noticed that nearly every 1100 Sport I've seen seems to ride low in the back. This is definitely the case with mine. It's not a matter of the spring sagging, or not enough spring preload...it just seems that the eye-to-eye distance is too short. I seem to recall the that ride height on the stock WP (mine's a 1997) is fixed...there's no adjuster. Is this correct? Has anyone else noticed this, or think it's a problem? If so...what's the fix? Rather than buy an Ohlins shock with adjustable ride height built in, does anyone make a clevis adapter (or the like) to allow another 25mm or so of eye-to-eye length? Thanks in advance for the help!
