just checking what others are doing?
If the shock has a ride height adjuster then you can lengthen it to get the same effect as the spacer, you will still need to do one or the other to get the same turn in you had before

Dropped it off to get forks done... Had to follow a mate in his car so I could get back and it was horrriiiibbblleeee :( Why can't fast cars be as cheap and available as fast bikes? Took like 50 minutes to do 30 miles. I did in in less than 30 last time I went to Alex's :(

Took of the old dented headers and fitted the ones that GLSR sorted out for me. Ground down the welds on the headers where they fit to the cyl heads while I was there...... Took 6 dremmel girder disks but it removes a significant restriction.

I was juts thinking that.

BWT the whole bike looks great mate. Compare it to how it looks in your avatar pics and your latest improvements make a difference especially the fairing lower. The only thing that stands out now is the cable tyres around your shock adjuster. :lol:
