All sorted after loosening and bashing it around a bit. Still rubs a bit but very minor.
Should have forks built for next weekend then some testing before track days begin :)

Is this BMW Sachs shock a better option than the cbr600rr shock? I know it is more simple to fit, but is it better once on the road? Sorry if I throw a spanner in the works :D

Very informative read. As most of this was discussed in 2013 I want to ask if any body achieved good results with the HRC link + BMW RR shock + soft spring setup. Located an RR shock but not sure if I should pull the trigger. Bike will be race/track only.
