I'm not 100% it would, on my vfr I fitted rvf linkages and the shock spring fouled the swingarm.

I'm no expert on these things but that could just make it to high combined with the rvf linkage to cause it to rub

just for a heads up, with the preload set to 25mm, and static sag at 9mm, and all damping and rebound set +1 from normal its a nice comfy and positively different tail end,
i only did about 10kms on it but it felt smooth
just need to set from sag/preload as the rear is raised by about 25-50mm
