Is your bike running 17/14 wheels? Iirc the shock is a bit of an odd size, (305mm Isn't it ?) and alot of after market manufacturers don't make shocks in that length.
Do it. Its your property, they can get stuffed! I had neighbours that hated my stereo, I used to listen to music as loud as I wanted just about every night, cops soon got sick of turning up, lol
Using the Suzuki forks, does that mean you could get a Sano/Five-0 top clamp and run BMX styled bars, may help when CJ is getting taller?
I like some of the gold accenting you did too, looks great with the forks!
