Default Shogun swingarm Spools risk?

HI Guys

Can you tell me if those swingarm spools are OK. they are from shogun but they seem very close to the exhaust? If a bump or if we are two i think it could touch ? Someone has those? What do you think?

no different than any other spools on this bike. You need alot of compression on the rear shock to come close. I'm sure you'll be fine. If you are severly worried about it, take them off untill you need to lift your bike, then put them on temporarly, when done, remove them again.

I have basically the same ones and havent had any problems. You'd have to hit something pretty dam hard to bottom the rear shock. if that does happen, the last thing on ur mind will be the can

Thanks a Lot guys ! I finally put them yesterday and well trust they won't touch .. If at all I will tell you ... Btw I don't think they will be very efficient if the bike slide... The quality is there but I don't think the bolt will handle the force which will be applied to the big plastic chunk ?!
