Honestly, I'll have to ask my buddy who had the bike before me, he did the work. The photo does show that he made an aluminum plate to move the front mount back to line up with the newer tank. Underneath by the shock mount, I never thought about it. You are right though, in 2002, the factory went with the shorter shock and moved the top mount down about 40-50mm.
