Just acquired an adjustable torque arm and wondered when fitting it if one needs to make any adjustment to the rear shock?

No.

Only thing to remember is if you can get someone to sit on the bike, therefore pre-loading the torque arm bushes, as you tighten the bolts. No great problem if you can't though (I didn't the last time I changed torque arms).

What I don't understand is the physics of it. By shortening the torque arm are you not lowering the angle of the final drive therefore "stretching" the rear shock? So causing an effect to the shock?
or am I just missing something obvious?

Remember that the bloody nuts don't turn the right way! I chewed one up and had to wait a few week for a replacement via Darren at Motorworks.
