nc35 ground clearance issues
As per the title really, the belly pan on my race bike is grounding, the bike is fitted with a non standard Penske rear shock and also the Rick O ride height adjuster.
I know Mike Norman is currently running a batch of adjustable links I just wondered if there was another option.

Re: nc35 ground clearance issues
Grounding how, while riding or standing? You changed from OEM shock to Penske or bike came with Penske?

Re: nc35 ground clearance issues
Presumably you're running a fiberglass race fairing so it may just be that it's fitted a bit low or bulging out if you're not using the lower mount bracket? Deciding factor is usually exaust clearance so it may be you can move it up a bit?
Is it grounding out at the front under braking or the side while cornering? How far through the yokes are the forks dropped?

Re: nc35 ground clearance issues
Bike was bought as a race bike with the penske shock already fitted, and was generally set up on the soft side.
The fairing is only grounding on the rear of the left hand side.
I had the fairings off after Cadwell and you could easily lift the belly pan up, but I don't want to redrill .
I have only one race meeting left this year at snetterton. Then over winter the bike get a new set of party clothes.
