I appreciate the input. The bike isn't at it's final setup, it's just loosely mocked up to do the frame modifications. It's also up on the center stand and on a block of wood which makes it look WAY higher than it actually is. I made the spacers for the shocks as long as I thought I could get away with because I can always make them shorter.
I'm definitely aware that raising the rear end will quicken up the steering. From everything I've read, these UJM bikes are pretty lazy on the steering tube angle. The front is much lower than I plan to run, so that will help and I'll also be adding an upward bend to the rear frame so I don't have to run such long shocks.
