Tiger shock linkage

The Tiger/Trident hybrid build has begun.  The first step is getting the Tiger rear shock on the Trident.  I was hoping the Tiger shock would fit on the Trident with no changes.  No such luck.  The swing arm, shock, shock linkage and motor mounts are different.  So, I pulled the rear suspension and motor mounts off the Trident.  I now have the Tiger motor mounts and swing arm in place on the Trident.  The Tiger shock is in place with only the upper bolt.

Now my question:  How do these two pieces fit on the linkage?  The shop manual does not show them and being an idiot I did not document their exact placement.

The pieces:



The location where I believe they go:




And the way I think they mount:



Yes, no??

See schematic on the first post of this: http://www.tigertriple.com/forum/index.php/topic,13380.0.html

That's one of the two brackets that came with the centre stand kit.

I suspect these two pieces are spacers that came with the centerstand kit.

You beat me by just under a minute.  Thanks for the info.  I DLed the jpeg with the diagram.  I probably have the instructions around somewhere, but you saved me the time of searching.
