NC35 ride height

Post by Giffin101 »

On cornering I was scraping my footpegs so I fitted some rearsets ans now I'm scraping my exhaust.
I run a Hagon shock which works perfectly and would rather not replace so does anyone have any experience of fitting a spacer on the rear?
The bike handles superbly, great turn in and stability and I'm worried that raising the rear with have a negative effect on its very neutral characteristics...

I have a 30 but with a longer shock - It is a good call on raising the ride height. I now scrape my sidestand as I also have high pegs. Am going to fit an RVF dogbone too as soon as I can be arsed..I like a pointy bike

The mod to the RVF is easily reversed if you try it so get an 8mm spacer whacked in it :geek:

Quick update, I've fitted the spacer and I really can't believe the difference its made.
The bike turns in much better but at the same time has not lost any of its comfort and if anything feels far more purposeful on the road.
Rick's spacer is personally rather over engineered for what it is but as such is machined to fit perfectly over the top shock mount.
Best £15 I've spent in a long time.
