VF500F rear end / shock height.

I recently installed a modified F2 shock from Jamie, and the rear of the bike appears to be lower than stock rear height. I've compared my VF to other images I found on google, and it's there's definitely a difference in height.
I'm a novice when it comes to suspension, but is there a simple method of raising the rear? I believe setting the preload to be higher would help, but that would mess with the shock since it's been set for my weight.
The rear wheel is nearly recessed into the fender. The end of the rear fender sits about 2 inches from the rear tire (see attached pictures for reference).

or... it's just me and this is completely normal rear height for this bike. lol

Here's a video of a fellow user here (Slowbird) with his modified shock from Jamie, his rear height is definitely a tad higher.

TLR, I would simply like to raise the rear of the bike by about an inch, what would be the best method of doing this?

Imgur link to pictures below, top three crappy flash photos are of my VF, I'll add more of the bike in daylight outside to get a better reference.

Think you should call Jamie.....

 

I sent him an email, just waiting for a reply now. I'll give him several days to get back to me. I know he is a very busy guy. But I figured posting in the forum wouldn't hurt.

 

Probably goin to order my fork inserts this week...
Yeeeha.
Good luck, let us know what happens.

 

Are you running the factory recommended tire size?

 

Yes I am.

I'm going to set the preload just one notch higher, and see if that does anything.
