you noticed that then :shh: :lol: ....only by about 2 inch to just lower the front wheel into the fairing for a more aggressive look, have to be careful not to lower it too much as it starts hitting the top of the mudguard, i hardened the forks a little bit and this resolved that. seems to handle better in the corners now as well as on them roundabouts whilst popping my knee down, so a good little adjustment all round :thumbup:

mines a 98 model mate......its not too complicated to wire in if you mark up wires before hand on both the wiring loom and the digi dials, the hardest bit i found was programming in the wheel dimensions in to get the right speed reading. the plate underneath was made by me.... used a bit of cardboard to mark out a shape then transfer this to a bit of alloy plate and got the grinder out, bit of black spray paint, bolt down the digi to that plate job done only took an afternoon to do the lot.

You are only the second person I know of who has dropped the front end by so much. If it works for you then that's what matters :)

You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.
