For what it's worth, I have 400 with fixed rear footrests, closed ends swinging arm. Nut is on RH (brake) side, when assembling, push spindle through from sprocket side and when enough thread is showing start turning nut and use this to pull rest of spindle through. On the spindle I am using at the sprocket end it has a hole whereby you can use a small tommy bar/screwdriver to hold the spindle while you tighten the nut, would not be able to use this if it was at brake end. Little bit of care needed when inserting split pin into castrated wheel nut. Sorry Julie, but speaking as one who made an absolute pig's breakfast once of trying to fit shox that were too long, that's when everything fouls up. Always carefully measure between fixing centres of shox before trying to fit, can't give proper measurement at moment, as it's absolutely precipitating down outside, and the pizza and beer are ready. Regards, Michael.

Agree Michael. My shocks are spot on the original length so everything is sitting where it should be as far as levels and clearances are concerned. But, although I can see its very easy to insert spindle from the nearside, making the nut on the off side by the brake, I cant see how this is possible with the silencer in the way, if a standard exhaust system is fitted, there us just not enough clearance available 🤔🤔🤔
rosco:
Just found in Haynes manual page 97 section 7-1 It states Pull out the spindle with the drive side adjuster and spacer As Trickymicky states would make it difficult fitting a tommy bar to assist removal
