    Wow... the rise in the rear end after the shock coversion is huge. There is daylight there!

    Does anybody know is that somewhere near factory stock height before all the stockers started sagging??? Or higher?

    Whats with the exhaust silencers being capped off there, is that some legislation on emissions or something.
    Looking good though nicely done. I would have thought that the increase in rear ride height would massively increase the steering speed, which is already pretty quick.

    Much better, very easy turn in and very stable in the corners. Only woe is the kickstand and the sticky clutch when its cold, but for a 28 year old bike thats not too bad.
