7.875 x 2.25 DHX coil on 5 Spot?

Has any one tried this in an effort to run a Pike at 140mm? I have to run the Pike at 125mm to get the 5 Spot to turn well. I have a large 05 with a Pushed RP3.

Won't work. The added 0.375" of i2i lays the rockers back at a wacky angle. It would take a lot of filing to make the shock not hit the rockers and it would screw up the geometry anyway. Stay with stock.

steering and lean it over, I used to have a block about the Pike on the front but when I started to focus on weighting the inside grip and outside foot more the sluggishness went away.

I'll keep the Dremel tool in the drawer and if DT says lean . . . I'll lean!
