So as I give the shock mounting more thought, I will attach one mounting point extended forward off of the wheel fork with a vertical support gusset. The other mounting point will be based off of the distance of the same arc from the mounting point and the wheel housing pivot. That should give me an angle similar to "vertical", right? I only have to allocate fer the single plane of motion of the suspension since it is a single wheel.
