Thanks Gaz, will let you know, bike has been lowered and is also a bitch to get on the centre stand,will be nice to see how it rides at standard height.

I've got a spare pair too,just swapped the lowering DB's for the standard.Doesn't look to be a great deal of difference but it makes it loads easier to get up on the main stand.

Well done Gaz66, and sorry Reyno. I just have been so busy, no time to sort them out.
I actually bought a R6 shock from eBay and made my own dog bones. Lowered the bike about 20mm and the centre stand (as Reyno mentioned) was then too long. So I cut 17mm out of the legs of a spare one I bought again from eBay. Sits nicely now. I know some of you will say it will grind easier but I haven't had that happen to me.
I have the TCP side fairing panels that have proved to be excellent. Bought in my colour Reddish Yellow, because to have second hand ones properly sprayed would not be economical.
