Sometimes a little extra fabrication is called for. This Fox twin clicker was supposedly from a '95 GSXR 750. The owner found that it had some clearance problems. The upper shoulder of the shock was too wide and hit the Ninja's shock mount, preventing the upper mounting holes from lining up. It was determined that too much metal would have to be removed from the frame mount area, so some of the top of the shock had to be ground away. | |||

You don't want to remove any more than necessary, and leave plenty of meat around the remote reservoir fitting. Taking bits out of the frame may work for some shocks. | ||
