Have i a low back end ?
 
Sv folks, this maybe a stupid questions but it's been semi bugging me.

Is the back end of my curvy low, taking into account that i have a zx10r shock on and the front dropped by a good 10 mm

i have a zx10 shock, and that looks about the same height as mine.

But would you saw it's too low ? or could it be higher ? ( i'm thinking of getting the 40mm jack up kit )

Why do you think it looks low? Doesn't seem bad to me (for a curvy)

It's probably the early signs of some form of psychosis setting in, but i still have to descide, 20mm or 40mm jack up kit

I think it looks ok. Do you feel it turns slow? All may depend on how forward you ride the bike. If you sit against the tank, weight on the front most of the time makes a different ride to if you sit way back. I'm sure there are better guys than me to talk about this but if you jack up the rear too much, the rear wheel will feel remote and the bike a tad unstable in turns.

Yeah looks massively low although its hard to tell from the picture, I reckon over time and wear and tear your back end has started to sag slightly but it just happens over the years.

Oh and your bike looks fine. :)

I'm prob just going crazy in my old age folks. i find the bike turns ok, but i'm thinking about rising the back end more, for the look more so.
