Hi guys... Got a little dilemma...

Just got my replacement shock for my Divvy project, and it's just under 2" longer than the one I took off (10"), thus raising the back end, which I wanted...

However, I notice that because the rear end has dropped down, the chain now catches the plastic protective 'runner' on the swing-arm... There's a noticeable arc in the chain, so to speak...

So my question is, could this be rectified by sticking a larger rear, and/or front, sprocket on? If so, any size recommendations?

I'm also hoping that when my carcass is sat on the bike, this will straighten up the chain taking it off the swing-arm when riding...

Pics of said dilemma will be posted on my thread 'Project Divvy' over the weekend...

Cheers in advance...
