Fitting a 750K2/K4 rear end to my 750K slingshot frame, and have a few questions for anyone who has been down this road.

1. Using a 1000K1 shock. Which dogbones fit?

750 Slingshot and 750K2/K4 are too long.  I think I need 150mm based on my mates bike with a similar conversion.

2. What size if sleeve / spacer is needed using the slingshot spindle?

Is 20mm/24.6mm correct?

I'm currently doing this and there was a lot of mixed information from people that had done this mod. The correct way is to use the slingshot bushes inside the K bushes as they fit perfectly. But here's the shitter you need to move the lower linkage mount down to make it all work as it should. Someone was selling brackets for this but has sold out and we don't know if he's gonna be making any more. I'm trying to make my own at the minute. And the top shock mount has to come away from the frame so will need a new bolt on mount. I'm using a k3/4 1000 swing arm as it doesn't use a torque arm on the rear caliper unlike the others. Looks cleaner

No rush. It would be for an 1100m that I don't even know when I'm going to get back around to working on.

What's the price on these in case anyone asks? Seems to be a few people interested in doing the same thing. 

Out of curiosity how thick did you make the plate section?
