jack up

hi all, im toying with the idea of raising the back end of the ntv a little bit. anyone played around with this? any ideas?

Any reason why you would want to do this? I cannot think of one other than to change the appearance and personally, I don't think it would look very nice.

If you search through the archives, you will find someone (a portuguese member I think) who cut and reset his rear frame. Don't forget that the side panels, rear panel and seat mountings are likely to need alterations.

I doubt you will find a successful way to achieve your aim through the suspension (Longer shock or moving the top or bottom mountings).

Do also bear in mind that you will need to advise your insurers (speak to them first!), the handling is likely to suffer and you're likely to affect the resale value of your bike.

Your time would be far better spent taking her out for a few good rides and if you plenty of spare money you can always send it to me instead ;D

If you want to do it try and measure a shock of the cb900 as that is what the hawk boys fit,

This what a member of the dutch forum did to his bike:





Is that what you had in mind ?

I don't think he put in a higher shock.
