The new fork legs are 86 cm from top of the leg to the centre of spindle.

This is quite an increase from stock but I am reducing the seat height by at least half so I think this evens out on balance...

Here is the swing arm with my 375 mm bespoke Hagon shockers (I may well upgrade these later once I've ridden them but I'm sure they will be fine...)

As you correctly say the pillion pegs don't look like they will foul the swing arm, but if I move the shocks forward and push the bike up they will. Another good reason to ditch the brackets ASAP. Anyway - I want the eye to see more of the swing arm in all it's loveliness!

Cheers
