what do you guys do to your rear shock for drag racing?

Havent ran a no-bar bike in over 6 years, and even then I didnt play with suspension (street bike)

No point in worrying too much,the 1125 geometry means it won't work properly regardless.

I've got a 600lb spring on with 68" wheelbase,it squats when I sit on it but then just goes rigid as soon as you apply power.

Little Joe's can be seen raising the rear end like a shafty.It's a real ball ache with chain drive.Already bent one spindle!

I'm trying to design a new swingarm pivot to fix the problem,just not a lot of room to work in and less to attach anything to.
It's the main reason I bought the 3rd 1125,so I can use it for mock up.
