£36 for the grips, made me wince a bit, but folks want a tenner for a used throttle grip and 6 or seven quid for a left, by the time you pay post it's 20 quid. F that.

I wish I knew that , I was wondering if any would know the answer to this but I'm looking at raising the rear end of the bike by 20 mm , I've got a k7 shock already but still not 100 percent happy with it , but my main concern is carbs will raising back cause havoc with carbs as I know there very sensitive little bikes ?

Thanks for info , random question how do I find kayla ? Members search is out off order unless you look throught all 218 pages , also do you think they would still work with k7 shock ? Only reason I ask is the base of shock is extremely close the bottom linkage I've had to modify linkage in order to get shock to fit

Why would you do that?
Isn't the hagon specifically for the gsxr? Would you be interested in selling? Just asking buddy!
