Yeah that is the exact problem I'm having bike is completely off the ground on abba stand !! I will hopefully get back in the shed over the weekend (if I get permission) will try and get hold of Rick too !!

I would put a pic up but can't work out how to

Ok ive took it off the abba stand and there is clearance......well a fag paper of clearance lol. Im pretty sure this wasn't the case when i had it on my rvf so maybe the hole for the shock is bigger on the rvf as the swignarms are slightly different.

Honestly i dont onow if id be happy running it like this

yeah that's what mine is like !!! Will have to ring Rick again and see what he says !! Surely it's not ment to be like that !! Just a bit gutted its cost me over £750 just for the shock and linkage !!!!

I do not have an HRC linkage, but did buy a nitron shock/modified stock linkage from Rick and have no clearance probs on my VFR400. Since he adverts the nitron shock to suit his HRC linkage, Rick must know it works. Contact him for sure. He is a top bloke and will help ya out!

I did install my setup on an abba stand and there was no real rubbing problems during the install.

^^There wouldn't be if your using a stock linkage and shock

I know this was a long time ago but was there a fix to this problem?

I.e. HRC linkage + non-stock shock = spring tight against swingarm hole?
