Default Dog bones fitted

Well, me and my son got my 40mm dog bones fitted this morning and lowered the yolks by 15mm,took about 20 minutes to fit them but about 30mins to prepare.looks like it's going to pour down so will leave trial run till tomorrow,I can now put both feet flat on the floor instead of looking like a ballerina on point.HANDY HINT?....I put the back paddock stand under....turned the foot pegs over ( upside down )....put axle stands under foot pegs, then removed paddock stand !!!

its nice getting both feet down

word of warning, keep an eye on your rear tyre for rubbing on the undertray (it will rub at the toolbox ridge on a pointy) also put a zip tie on one of your front forks to see how high it rises.

sometimes the rear stand works when putting the bike on axle stands sometimes not depending on how high the stand raises the rear.
