Rear Ohlins ?

I just bought another rear shock (elka conversion) for my speed. The original one I took off uses two different size bolts ( bottom mounting bolt is bigger than the top). The new one uses the smaller bolt on the top and bottom. The problem is that the bigger bottom bolt will not fit through the mounting hole on the new shock. That means I need a new smaller dia. bolt AND its not going to be the right bolt for the swingarm mount(too small). Anyone else seen this? :mad:

They switched bolts on the 03 models to the larger bottom bolt. I ran into this with mine, pulled the shock bushing and drilled them in a press.
