Very nice 8)


I think you've just made a few foccers happy if you go into production.

could make a few happy,


If you raised the rear by 20-30mm, and the steering is less rake,would it make much difference to the ride?

I'd have bought one of these if I wasn't selling the FZ1. A great idea for fine tuning the ride height. Everyone should have one.
As we all know, increasing the ride height sharpens the steering, lowering it makes it less responsive. I tried both on the FZ. I ditched the lowering kit & set it back to std as it slowed the steering significantly, even with the forks raised 25mm. I then got a R1 triple clicker rear shock & adaptor & this was way better than stock especially with the forks raised 8mm. Try 8mm raised forks & 10mm ride height adjustment Billy I think you'll like it.
