Hi i have just got the misses a rvf 400 and the bloke i bought it off said he had fitted a HRC rear ride height spacer, however i would like to drop it back to a standard seat height as she is struggling a bit touching the floor, she hasnt been riding bikes for long and i think it would make her more confident, could anyone please tell me if there is a way to check if the "HRC spacer" has been fitted and if so where i could get a standard one from, i not sure if its a new u shape adapter or just some shims he has fitted.
Thanks

hi, i bet its just got a spacer in at the top of the shock.
remove the seat unit panels, slacken the top shock bolt and see if there is a spacer like a big U shape
if there is, remove it and tighten it back up

Yep thats right, there isnt a standard spacer, its either no spacer = standard ride height and spacer = HRC ride height.

Thanks for your replies, i will have to check it out, i wasnt sure if it was something strange like a different length dogbone at the bottom linkage but if its just a spacer at the top as you say then thats an easy fix.
Cheers

well the RVF linkage is different to the NC30 one and is used as a mod to lift a NC30 by and inch or so at the rear.
i guess you could reverse the mod and fit a NC30 link, prob wont do the handling any favours and could look a bit orange country choppers
pair of ape hangers and your sorted - start a new trend

Hehe the ape bars sound good, it would then match her hairy arms and legs

we need pics mate.

Makes you wonder about the term HD picture..........Hairy Diva pics, good job she dont know my password for this forum!!!

Just a quick reply to say it was just a spacer as you said, i also backed off the spring preload a bit, i now have a happy "short legged hobbit" who can touch the floor.

Cheers for your help.
