I just got my shocks back from C&D(they did the ssd conversion) and my Burgard +1 1/4" swingarm came in.Everything looks sweet.I love how much the shocks lower the bike.Anyway everything fit great.I have a few pics if someone wants to post them for me.

did they widen your quad a little bit or is it just the way the pic looks ? mine are in C7D's possession right now and I can't wait to try them out .

Are they stock A arms?

It widens it a little up front due to the lower ride height,the a-arms are at less of an angle.Yes those are stock a-arms.

The rear doesnt look much lower then my stock rear with all the preload out, the front does tho, but i know it has to ride 100X better. Looks good!!

Right now,when I am sitting on the bike in my riding gear,my ride height is about 3/8" lower in the rear than the front.It that about where you want it to be?I am still kind of new to suspension adjusting.....I usually just hop on and let 'er rip.:D

close enough. they say 1/2 inch difference is the wisest choice.
