Being a tad on the rotund side I had to do something about the squirming sog that passes for suspension on my 2000 pointy. Problem is, fitting something that works without first butchering the battery box etc.
Luckily, Ebay seems to have thrown up the answer: a Hagon intended for the older GSXR 750 fits perfectly, gives the rear a slight lift and can be wound off enough for the 10 stone sprogs to use it too.
Except that it then bore down even more heavily on the nose. Solution, Hagon progressive kit with a CM higher oil level to keep the balance.
Now, all I need is some adjustable clipons as the standard items won't adjust to accommodate broader-shouldered types.
Maybe rear sets as well.
And, and, and, soddit, addiction has set in.
