    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.
