Thanks guys for the questions. Since that photo has been taken I raised the rear back to the original height. So no fears there. As for the front I have a mate of mine who works in bike racing. He shorten the ride height by replacing the spring with a 50mm shorter but stiffer Spring and spacer. I have seen some dodgy home jobs on this. I didn't want to take the risk. Apparently it reduces travel but is stiffer. Maybe a tougher ride but will handle better.
Congrats on the bike. It looks awesome. I'm not a huge fan of these customisations, but I'd ride that without a second thought. BTW, I need to lower the front end on one of my bikes and I was hoping to contact your mate to see where I can get parts from. Can you PM me his email address please?
Sure thing. I know he engineered a piece for me but not too sure on that. Let me contact him first to see if he is up to doing it again.
Hey mate how did you go getting roadworthy/rego with the modified frame? worried about getting my hoop put in down in VIC
