Hi Guys, Finished up my front fork lowering blocks and mocked up the rear dog bones this weekend. Here are a few pics...
Here is a plate of Aluminum Its 10mm thick, I doubled up the shims to give the bars a rise of 20mm this translates in giving 4.5" of ground clearance to the front.
I also Shaved 1" off the seat, and mocked up a set of dog bones for the rear out of aluminum,(waiting on some 1/4" steel flat bar from a friend)
As the bike sits now my wife has no problem feeling comfy with the reach
I will update when I fabricate the dog bones and test out the grown clearance,
It appears I have gone from 30.5 to 26.5" seat height...gotta shorten the side stand also :
Cheers
