To get around this they have manufactured a longer torque arm but this bushes the caliper back so it doesn't hang naturally.
Being as ar*ey as I am, im just not happy with it!
Easy fix.
Bin the torque arm all together & weld a stop lug on inside of swingarm, use a smaller top mount caliper & bracket from another bike, minimal work for maximum gain.
Dunno why folk bleat on about these OEM Sumitomo Blue spot or Gold spot calipers, they've all got crappy manufacturing tolerances, pads rattle like crazy unless you fab up some shims & way too powerful for rear brake use.
