@LI-Rick posted:@Alan Merklin, before you go cutting the horizontal bar, I would look into installing a spacer between the upper shock tower and the shock. It’s hard to tell from the pictures, but I think the shock is leaning into the tower. The Mendeola suspension should have no effect on that Kafer bar, as the shock towers are in the stock location, the only thing that is different is the shock absorbers.
Thanks but spacers will change the vertical geometry of the shorter bars ... I had to change where they are mounted on the solid trans cradle mount so I don't have the clearance. Sleeving the long bar to increase the length is by best choice.
