.... Um.
I take it you mean the top of the swing arm bracing is fouling the shock ???
If so how bad is it ???

It should be OK as long as I
don't ride the bike

Back to the drawing board !
Any idea if it is a fzr swingarm?

It's the right swingarm for a 3en1.
Sorry - I thought the R6 shock would fit. The shock needs the ride height altering by 25-30mm but that's not going to be enough to make a difference.
You could mrk the arm and maybe get it altered but that's quite a lot to do to a bike and it could work out expensive

I was thinking the very same thing, I could reduce the cost if I cut out the section to accommodate the shock reserve and make the fill in bits and then get someone
to weld it for me.
I would like to stick with the r6 shock its very pretty. Just feels like the bike has been a bit of a disaster from day one.
