"If thine guard offends thee pluck it out " throw it over the fence with the indicators/choke slides/center stand /mirrorsI'm saying the shock is just a tad too close to the guard for comfort (no pun intended).
The mount is pretty snug tbh.Do you have enough room/thread on the shock mount to get a washer behind the shock?
Or give the chainguard a tweek?
Maybe get a slightly longer shock bolt to accommodate a washerThe mount is pretty snug tbh.
You're doing it again!!You will have to grind the head of the bolt down to fit into the chainguard slot
No clearance issues on my Mk3
Picked them up from Norman, be surprised if they are Emgo!
Just fitted these Ikon (dial a ride type)Yes , no clearance issues at all on My MK 111 as well. Plastic bolt size inserts are standard procedure with many shocks. Picked mine up from Walridge and they were just fine. Moved on to Koni Dial a ride shocks , no fitment issues as well. The JBL's are now in a box and still work well. Price was good.
They look great!!Just fitted these Ikon (dial a ride type)
shocks ...stainless bushings needed a touch with a file...all in all a nice fit
You will like them is my bet. Set them 2 and 2 for a start if you are riding spiritedly and 90-100kg.Just fitted these Ikon (dial a ride type)

I'm 95 kg so your reccomended settings will be a good start thanksYou will like them is my bet. Set them 2 and 2 for a start if you are riding spiritedly and 90-100kg.
Oh - and note that you cannot go half settings on the damping dial, as that will block the holes internally.I'm 95 kg so your reccomended settings will be a good start thanks
I've had NJBs on mine since 2017. I also found the chainguard interference but solved with a thick washer on the lower shock mount. This required a longer bolt which has a thin head for the chainguard slot. I thinned the bolt head mostly with a grinder and belt sander. The bolt goes in from the brake drum side so you'll have to take the wheel off, etc. Yes, the shock will be at a tiny angle but well within what the rubber buffers can handle.
I don't put many miles on anymore but they work ok and aren't leaking.
I took a set of konis off that I've had on for 30 years (rebuilt) which had a slight clash with the C/guard....so i thought bugger it will stick on some new set and rebuild the konis in my leisureI've had NJBs on mine since 2017.
