79 cr250 swingarm

Hi everyone.
I am having alot of trouble installing the PFR bent swingarm
and the piggy back shocks I got from VMX racing.
First the swingarm would hit the engine on the l/ lower side and did not
drop down far enough?I called Peter at VMX and he told me to
grind the welding down as this was not done at PFR.I did this and now
have enough clearance and the arm drops down enough.Now with the shocks
hanging from the top mount the lower mount is about 2 to 3 inches
to far forward
Has anyone had trouble with these parts.
Thanks

usual problem with aftermarket shocks, you have to make some space at the upper framemount. then the shocks come down enough. you should also check if the piggypack touches the muffler when the suspension is full compressed. for easier testing remove the springs of the shocks. maybe you also get problems with the chainroller. installing trick parts is not plug and play.

Thanks for in info. I was hoping not to have to cut anything but I guess I have to.
