Rear shock mount bending

Also note that if the reservoir hose rubs on the coil it'll quickly wear the powder coat off. And contact from the tire sidewall will wear the hose to the stainless braid under the rubber jacket. I eventually used a series of zip-ties around the hose to protect from further abrasion.. worked great.
 
As many of you expected, the OME BP51 bushings didn’t fare too well on my 2400 mile trip. Definitely not a long term solution.

So, I’m installing the Kings today. I had used a washer between the mount and the shock eye for the BP51s as the rubber flange needed it. The Filthy Motorsports instruction don’t show a washer but in my case, I could have ground the mounting pad a bit thinner that it was before. I’d appreciate it if someone could take a measurement for me:

Mine is about 70mm.

I put the jaw of the caliper on the back side of the mount here:
