I thought that it would wreck the handling too, but loads of them have done it, and all have said its either not changed the handling, or improved it slightly. Must be with the bike being quite tall to start with. I've heard some of the guys talking about scraping the pegs, but I think its just forum bravado I know I can't do it, and I rate myself as a fairly quick rider!
Hmmmmmm!It's a tough one.A firm that specialises in suspension or anonymous internet experts.I'll have to go and think about it for a while;)
