250r front shocks/ rear shock?

on my black blaster, I had to move the lower shock mount back 1-1/2" for a trx 250r shock to fit and sit at stock height,
the shock eye fills the upper mount spacing so I used the KOR busings on the outside of our frame mounts just to reduce the bolt size.
I have now swapped in a YFZ 450 shock that sits the same as the 250r.

Awk, do you happen to have a picture showing how you moved the lower shock mount back an 1-1/2"? Not exactly sure how you about doing that. Also, having tried multiple rears, what is your favorite?

I'll try to find pics of the mount moved back, this was a homemade 4" extended stock swinger that came with that black bike, it must have been made by piecing 2 swingers together as it had 2 mounts still on it, the stock position and one back about 4 inches they never cut off, I cut them flat and welded 1/4" x 1" steel between the 2 and drilled those "rails" where needed to keep the stock ride height

I've had stock, 400ex, 450r, works and now elkas, and thats the order I rank them, nothing like these elkas except maybe some peps, ohlins or fox floats.

on the black bike I went from stock to 250r and now the YFZ 450, the last 2 are about equal ride except the YFZ is 20 years newer and should last longer.

not sure about fronts, except if you use too long it'll destroy the ball joints
