Sorry i meant dog bones and bigger shock (not springs! you have already told me that is not the answer!)

Jack up plates and some .90 front springs then.

These are easy to fit.

Bigger shock, this is more involved but better overall. ZX6R B1H is a good one or later ZX10R, I think C1 05-06.

Otherwise, you are looking at £400+ for penske, nitron etc. with ride height adjuster.

Keep up ;)
About the same as me then. I rode a Curvey for two years. Only thing I did was drop the forks through the yokes my 10mm or so.

I left the back end alone and I never felt uncomfortable on it or that I was to big for it.

I suggest on my experience that you probably arent to big for it and that you just need to get used to riding it and how the bike feels...

If you want a bit more leg room then maybe try some rear sets that allow you to move the pegs about to get yourself more comfortable on the bike.

+1...just give it a bit more time and you'll get used to it.

You're certainly not the biggest SV rider out there!

It is, if you want a photo when you post, upload a avatar picture?

You uploaded a profile picture, when you visit you're profile it shows a picture.


I am 6ft, and 14 stone give or take a few, and I find mine fine, try moving back in you're seat, will help you're 'image', the way the bike feels and will improve you're riding. (In my experience).

Front fork pre-load adjusters? - what are these badgers?

Not fitted to the 2001. You can buy and fit extra, but they don't help anything like as much as properly weighted springs and oil.
