Raising rear ride height

[banoffee]

not sure if that question is directed at me / my pics however mine is a replacement, not a modified one.

Oh I see that explains it then. How was the improvement in handling?

dunno, not ridden it yet as been busy. will find out tomorrow! have clicked the steering damper up a couple of notches in case however the seat height is much improved for me - 6ft and a bit

i took my rear sub frame off and made to brackets that go to the bottom holes then when i fitted it the mesurment from the floor to bottom of number plate was 100mm,but it looked awsome,then realised i had to cut the rear panals abit so just brought a 35mm jack up linkage instead lol

I don't get it though... on that picture the hole has been drilled in a different place to this one... http://www.400greybike.info/newforum/vi ... ide+height" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Which one do I do?

You want to drill the end of the dogbone that is nearest the rear of the bike. All NC30/35s (? at least the ones I've had) have that extra hole where the dogbone mounts to, which won't do the trick - it's not designed for it. I'd put a pic up, but I've welded the old hole up (not really required depending on the distance you drill at). I said before that 12 mm is the max you can go. I did 9 mm from memory = about 30 mm ride height gain and it's pretty close to hitting an aftermarket exhaust at rest. Keeping in mind that you can also drop (raise) the forks. My race bike runs about 6 mm above the yokes with the rear dogbone modded as above. A pretty good combo with a standard shock for those on a budget.

There was a thread that explained it all on the old forum (RichoneNZ?), but the search function doen't want to work for me at the moment. Worth having a look though.
