Okay, so Phil believes that this isn't the OEM swingarm. I need to either find an OEM swingarm or just any good replacement. Best to chat with the ex500 racers at the track.
So Phil rebuilt the non-adjustable Worx performance shock. I installed it on the bike, and he checked the setup. He's very pleased and believes it will work perfectly. One only hopes.
Tomorrow I wake at 4am and repeat as necessary. This time with feeling...?
