CNC machined dogbones - 6mm shorter than stock - raises the rear end by 0.5 - 1 inch
Could swap for standard pointy dog bones

Makes it look trick and quickens the steering

Bah - quicker steering I can live without (at the moment :-)) More legroom would be good though.

Doesn't change the seat to footpeg length.
For more leg room may I suggest sitting on the pillion seat and/or using crashbungs as footpegs/legrests

Disclaimer: the above is only recommended at speeds up to stationary! :lol:

Ahh my numptyness has been exposed :-)

Regarding the leg room I was thinking about putting some big engine bars on then some big Harley type foot boards mounted on them. Reckon it'd be quite comfortable then. Trouble is it'd never get round corners and I'd look a right prat.
