So, I just cut the dogbones and removed 6mm, then welded them back together. This gave me 3/4" rise. More than I had intended, but it means even with a Shinko 244 the tire never touches the airbox or inner fender, even when hitting speed humps fully loaded.

With the extra rise in the back, and the super tall 244 tire, i had to slide the fork tubes down in the trees 1/2" to keep from having a high speed wobble. Switching to a 3.50-18 instead of a 3.00-18 also helps tame that, or going with a Kenda big block rear tire instead of the 244. (that's the setup I have now)

Charles.
