High enough to be out of the way, low enough to reach if I need to

Errrr, what are we talking about then

Cheers Mark.

so not my shelf I keep my spare crash helmet on then ?

Just an Idea but wouldn't it be easier to ask if anyones bike had been lowered

is that what you're after

If so then Sam's is probably the lowest you could get, the dog bones are about 3 cms longer (lowering the back via the linkage) and the forks are 2 cm through the yoke.

Cheers Mark.

Might be best to give a context for this as in the current weather people are less liley to measure how hoigh the **** of their bike is without a vaugue idea of why

Unless this is a social experiment to see just what people will do without questioning why

Do you want it on the sidestand, or off? (ie, the height when leaned over, or the true height when vertical?)
