Well done, fabulous job! How did you determine how long to stretch the rear swing arm? Was it based on your height or the length of shock you were going to use? I have an america that I bobbed out and I think what you did with the rear would really finish the job nicely. Again, very well done.

It had to do with a few things. My height 6'1" 36"inseam and the way it would look. Also the amount I dropped the back. It took some testing to find the spot the bars would not "flop" side to side. I had to find the point of center then position the shock mounts to keep it there. It took some time but was worth it. Glad you like it 
If it isn't broke ...break it ! then you'll have something to do !
