On the left are 2 of the 4 spacers supplied with the shocks, which together weren't enough to get the shocks absolutely aligned when installed on the upper mount. The spacer on the right is the one I made to fill the space between the lower shock eye and the swingarm before I modified the upper mount.

Here's the modified upper mount. Note the reduced shoulder on the hex and shortened stud for the upper shock eye.

Here's the stock upper mount with shock installed and one of the provided spacers for the acorn nut to tighten down onto. Without the spacer, there aren't enough threads, as the Ohlins shock eye is about half the thickness of the factory shock eye.

Here's the shock installed on the modified upper mount. This moved the shock inboard about 5/16" and I can now use the stock acorn nut with just a washer, no spacer.

And here's the resulting clearance between the shock and the bag at the bottom, using the provided spacers, which are stainless, instead of my fabricated spacer, which was aluminum.

This is from the Lewis and Clark museum. Depicts the portage of one of their dugout canoes around the falls. These things weighed hundreds of pounds! The slope is exaggerated because of the limmited space available for the display, but accurately matches the description written of the method and the struggle.
