That sticker kit looks a right result Paul - thought about a carbon piece on that middle exhaust section now?

Maybe one day - no rush

Agreed Paul, that graphics kit looks even better than the Husky one for sure. Could be the light, but it seems the colours are deeper and more vibrant.

Suspension ....
Had mine set up last week for sag etc etc... spoke about a lowering link to maintain the same 250mm of travel ... he strongly advised me against that as it would upset the bikes balance etc.. he said to go for a shorter spring for the rear and he could alter and respring the front to match (30mm lower) BUT you lose another 30mm of suspension travel doing it that way. My FE 450 has 300mm. 701 has 250mm standard reduced to 220mm if you go with with shorter springs, i would prefer to keep the travel as long as possible ...
Can anyone say whether once they fitted the lowering link how the bike felt? I mean its not a highly focused track bike its a flippin dirt bike with a pensioner steering it

After a couple of days riding around Norfolk and Suffolk I’ll be removing the lowering link. Front feels nervous comparatively to other bikes I had a go on. Suspension guru visit needed

Set up a new navigation aid, time to learn which app is best.

DMD2 navigation app or hardware is best out there
