Slabside suspension link (again)

I've trawled here(and there...) looking for answer, quite a few threads discussing linkage differences but I can't find the info I'm after .

I have an 1100 frame, what  I think is an 1100 linkage (has pockets in the side of casting), a JMC deep brace arm and R6 shock - the shock spring in fouling the swinging arm brace .

Is a 750 linkage shorter than the 1100 - will it move shock mount closer to frame & allow spring to not hit the brace ? 

Cheers

Matt

Just been looking at your drag bike thread, Like the shock options opened by linkage modifications - whether to eye or wider fork.

Thanks for posting pic's :)

I've got a 750 linkage coming from eblag.de

Cheers

Great info. Thanks, Rsvfletch. Any other tricks when weldning such forged (I presume it's forged) aluminium?
