Anyone know where you can buy the shock setbacks(?)? I guess that is what those are called. I like the way the shocks look layed back a bit and also will lower it a bit too. Don't really have to lower it as I am about 5'11", but bike should handle a little better I would think. Mostly I just like the way they look.

Or you could extend your swingarm. When i installed a swingarm that was not as long as my present one it raised the bike up. Roy

1976 KZ900A4, 4-1 header, rear lowering kit, grab bar removed, still shining and painting parts as time permits

They are called a "lowering kit". I saw them on ebay every time I searched for KZ900 parts. I have a set on my bike, beware your header may scrape when going over bumps or turning into places that have a curb at the edge of their driveway.

just keep in mind that there is a down side.
Your shocks will feel stiffer. as u lay them down it takes more force to compress the springs.
if u dont have the correct amount of preload sag the shocks will not perform properly.
