I have seen several of these with round spacers. Anyone concerned about the shock rotating, since the oem square bracket is no longer "keyed" by the frame channel? I guess it's remote, but I don't know for sure.
Mine never moved.
All the forces on the shock are vertical, there are no rotational forces in play.
Unless, of course, you ever want to adjust the preload. It's "keyed" to the crossmember in the oem version, I figured that was why.

Zach - I have a stock 5th Gen mount on order. ONce it arrives, I'll try to take some measurements if you're still looking. I also have a 929 shock, so I can take some measurements of that, as well.

Hey Zach - thought I'd follow up on this...need to get the beast fixed up for an upcoming ride.
I know you have a stock bracket in hand, so I am 99% sure you need to add 42mm in height to the existing bracket, and the resulting longer bolt would need to be 110-115mm long, M10 diameter.
I called a welder, sent him some pics and mockup...said it would cost $200 to add the spacer, or $150 to just fab a new, longer bracket, like the one you drew.
Any chance you can fab one up for me for less than that?
