[QUOTE="hppants, post: 1413498, member: 27852"] I ended up fabricating my own bracket. The one from Hagon only had one mounting hole and I wanted to have something more rigid. I put mine on the right side and the bracket fits between the rear foot peg and the rear frame bosses. The holes for the adjuster were drilled at an angle to allow the adjuster to point slightly downward, giving me more room to turn the adjuster know with my hand. The good news is that the adjuster clears the entire swing of the swingarm - even if I were able to swing the tire to within 1 inch of the inner fender (not possible), the adjuster misses the tire by 3/4". It also clears the saddle bag well, and the hose is plenty long enough to reach the top of the shock. The bad news is that there is no way I can adjust it with the saddle bag on . I suppose that's not too big of a deal, but I'll have to remember to set the pre-load before I pack for the trip. I had to build the bracket twice before I got something I'm proud of. Took me the whole day. Tomorrow, I'll mount the shock and see what it feel like. [/QUOTE]
