The excess length on the arms just aims down with nothing in the way,
probably not even poking farther than the linkage. Clearly this is possible (see the KTM replacement shock-there are TWO options for height). There is lots of excess length on the Templar shock. I am not sure how much distance at the shock mount position on the swingarm is needed for a 1, 2, 3" lowering. It is just math !

The key will be to drill holes exactly the same diameter, and parallel. So I will try using a drill press with a block of wood on it to lay the shock sideways, and go for it. What the heck. Live dangerously
I’m definitely leaning towards this myself Thumper!
