Moving the spring/shoc mounting will just affect the effective spring rate - the ride height is more adjusted by the adjustable spring plate on the spring. I think there must be another reason.

Certainly it looks like the tubes extend out further on the new design.

I remember talking to someone with a blue Sportster at one of the shows (The car with the BMW instrument cluster fitted) He told me he had had a wishbone fail - albeit after thrashing it around on a track day.
