Thanks. Perfect. Preferred vendor. You're running them short back up right? I guess the leverage change on the swingarm would be minimal. Force change on the spring is relative to the ratio of the length change of the two sides of the triangle?
Thanks. I want to pull the eccentric forward and shorten the wheelbase by taking a length out of the chain. This will put the eccentric about halfway from top center to full forward probably. This gives me the stock Pani wheelbase. Where is I want to start as I reset the chassis up. My sense of the bike with the bushing changes is that it also wants a CG change upwards so I want to be able to correct for that. Think I'll have enough adjustment range?
Changing to the Pani head bushings shortened the wb to 58.1. About 0.3 long of the Pani. I'm behind center on the eccentric now due to the gearing so taking out a link gets me a little shorter than a Pani. For the riding I do I prefer agility (and the ability to carry more corner speed at less lean angle) over the need to drive it out.

I prefer to call them Freedom Units or FUs
Amazingly they're unneeded. The eccentric was about 30 degrees rearward (I had previously adjusted ride height via shock length). So I rolled the eccentric all the way forward, pinched a link, adjusted the chain. Ride height went up about 0.040 inch and the wheelbase is now 57.675 inch, 0.125 inch shorter than a pani. New master link. All done.
