Hi guys,
I am the other guy who couldn't get it to nstalled but finally did it without any mods.
I followed the same procedure as Slow here after getting confirmation from Jamie to assure me it fits, and that is removing the adaptor Jamie builds for the shock to get everything in place and then screwing it back on.
This is all with the reservoir facing the front and clearing the cylinder head by only a few milimiters. I know this may affect shock performance in the long run due to heat build-up but will try as it is before doing any mods the brackets. If I find it too bad then I'll look at making the necessary changes to install it with the reservoir to the back.
So it can be done without mods, you just need to remove the adapter first.
