You could pick up a piece of all thread and some sort of heim joints from tractor supply or someplace like that to make a quick/cheap adjustable strut for figuring locations as long as you know the compressed and free length of your shock.

Hopefully get the sub frame done today. Trying to decide on length of tail/seat and height of. I am leaning towards raising the sub frame about an inch above stock. Pics are of it raised about where I am thinking. Not sure on length yet. I shortened the front 2 inchs,Could go another inch or two maybe.

Moved this from another thread to my project page to keep it all together. Ghetto rearsets. Shifter side is from a Kawi Concours and works great
