Guys, being a stumpy git I have found my rocketship (made oh so much better since the Power Commander was fitted to remove the surging) a little too high for me.
Soooooo I did a bit of investigation and there`s a Company in the states who fit an adjustable assembly which replaces the `fixed` one and they can lower the bike by upto 4" (that`s 100mm in our money). Now, always remaining respectful of anyone else doing stuff for bikes I must say that his seems far too much for me.
So, I`ve got hold of the fixtures and fittings (in stainless of course and so cheap..................... not ) and I intend to fit the assembly (I now have a wee workshop ) and test it. My initial idea is to just lower it by 25mm as I believe I can lower the front fork yokes by the same amount - always good to keep the front and back the same eh
Has anyone had any experience in lowering the bike which may help me?
If I can crack this I intend to offer it as an installation to any of the lads who would benefit from the bike being a little lower!
