hi all i put some renthals on 2day as i dont like the wrist ache so had 2 lift front end bout an inch also cut the screen down as the mc was hitting.





now she likes the back wheel better

It will do with the front lifted that much .

The question is...will it fit through the door now...?

Ive done the same but with narrower bars. Im trying to hunt out some mirrors i can see with now.

Looks like you could do with a clutch and brake fluid change.

clutch /brake fluid be done 2moro and yer its a bit tighter gettin in/out but its alot more easer riding

Why have you lifted the front that much!? Does it not handle crap now?

had 2 drop forks through the yokes or the bars wont go on

still handles good but im gunna gear for low end not top speed
well just looked and its 1 1/2 inch its been lifted

put some risers on it. pop a 6mm spacer at the rear end and welcome to the world of fun.. it will steer like a boat with the forks like that. iv now pushed my forks up through the yokes and its so much better

robbed the risers of the ccm 4 a test if it better i be ordereding sum soon

My thoughts also Mac.

oh yer anyone know what is the biggest sprocket i can put on the back without changing the chain length?

43 tooth fits. drop the front 1 smaller and look at the stars oh and lighten the flywheel too.

As Bigtwinthing says, a 43 tooth rear sprocket is the biggest rear sprocket you can fit with a standard 16 tooth front sprocket and standard length drive chain,

still worries me when I see people dropping the forks that far when they fit bar clamps for flat bars. the bike is not going to turn well with that geometry, and with1" at the back end to compensate you are just moving the Centre of gravity higher, the already weak forklegs are now longer so with twist more and I suspect the linkage is hitting the exhausts.

trick is to tilt the risers backwards so the ctr of the bar is above the yoke bolt, then the bars will sit just behind the fork legs and you can run them in the correct geometry

My bars go over the fork steerer tube so they sit behind the fork legs. I dont have this issue.
