I realize the actual location of the pivot affects the amount of actual pinion rotation so I stayed on the conservative side in relation to the quadrant of the operating radius. Either way it illustrates how the pinion does rotate as the suspension travels. Let me know if you feel I missed anything my moto with cad drawings is "junk in junk out" if my assumptions are wrong than so are my results.

Nope - that sounds right to me. So it sounds like you've comprehended changes in pinion angle based on the travel of the rear axle through it's suspension "arc".
Well done-
