I did not remove the bushes on BM shock, I fitted suitable spacers at top mount along with bushings which allowed retention of 10mm top bolt - no drilling top or bottom of shock.Finaly I have managed to fit the S1000RR shock yesterday evening and used lowering dog bone kit by 25mm.However, I read some information this morning that the early s1000rr shock is longer than the newer one. The newer ones lower fork is in silver colour and I have got the same - the newer one.Now I am little bit confused, whether I should swap the lowering dog bones back to standard dog bones to keep the rear hight basically in the same level or not.
Once all fitted all play at shock top removed thats when I found play at the front mount where connected to frame, once this sorted all good.
Rear end is set at OEM, height front lower as early R6 front forks fitted. Forks and Shock resprung to suit me, front end a bit harsh over sharp bumps, ideally needs revalving, but this bike handles a lot better and is very accurate through the twisties. It compares very much like my previous bike GSXR1000 which was resprung/revalved - pretty happy.
Not sure how your USD forks compare lengthwise to my RWUP r6 forks - info on this site somewhere - but if it is anything like mine I would ride the bike with lower front end - you might prefer it.
