Nice bike GG, congrats!

Re: My new bike :-)
 

Why don't you adjust the ride height adjuster before you change the dog bones?
Or is it already on it's lowest setting already?

:???:

Re: My new bike :-)
 

Oooh, details? I may refer to my shiney owners manual. Got half way through this morning :-)

Re: My new bike :-)
 

I did not think those shocks had ride height adjustment other than the shimming washers under/over the top clevis.

Yep....and what can be adjusted already has. I'm getting -25mm dog bones and a standard seat that I might get modified. I have found a way to take it out on my own for now. Two bits of wood spaced apart on the driveway means I can ride up out of the garage onto the driveway, park it between the blocks of wood, lock the house up and then I have the left block of wood to help me get it off the sidestand and the right block of wood so I can get my foot down to kick the sidestand up and put it in gear...lol. I'm fine on the flat and I'm fine at junctions, traffic lights etc...it's just when I have to park it on not flat surfaces...lol!

YAY ;-)

Re: My new bike :-)
 

modify the seat first, no point ruining the handling of a reasonable bike for nowt.

Re: My new bike :-)
 

Bought a standard one today, so will mod that :-)

Re: My new bike :-)
 

Cool, if you do resort to playing with the linkage, for fooks sake ensure the shock has full and safe travel unlike half of the spacks on here.

Re: My new bike :-)
 

Yeah, Dan is very unwilling to mess with what works. Someone has already dropped the forks 5mm.....not sure if I should leave them as I'll be potentially lowering the bike or put them back to standard. It handles beautifully at the moment, so I'd rather cope with it being a little tall and not sacrifice handling.

I do need it lowered a little though, so lets see what difference the seat makes :-)
