Sorry JPM...haven't forgotten you, just been quite busy getting them out to the 748/9** owners at the mo!

Now most of them are done...I'm moving onto the 749/999 series.

What frame type do you have? I assume it is the oval hole type?

I WILL be knocking some different bobbins up for these over the next day or two...

Yup, bottom hole is oval (R frame if it makes any odds)

I'd be interested in one as well, oval holed for an S.

Made my own for checking tie bar length from a block of wood and punching holes at 0 and 285 mm then drilling for 2 M10 bolts, adjust tie bar so it slides onto the bolts and that gives you a known length of 285mm, as its an M10 x 1.5 bolt each full turn of the eye bush adjusts tie bar 1.5mm ( I prefer removing either the top or bottom tie rod bolt to adjust so you can record the setting. Not sure of the exact leverage ratio but i think its just less than 2:1 so for a full turn of eyebolt its a 3mm increase.

A tool would make it a lot easier though

Well done mate. It certainly makes a difference. Now all we need is for AndyB to tell us we shouldn't raise the forks thru the triple clamp. Again..

Without any futher explanation.....

Raising the rear and lowering the front changes the geometry of the bike. Perhaps I could have just raised the rear, but by doing both I can't think of anything that would be detrimental to the handling of the bike. Perhaps we should ask Andrea Forni what he thinks?

The only thing I need to sort now is the rear dampened as I think the standard Showa shock needs slightly more rebound dampening

Which bit of speak to JHP/pro twins dont you understand?
They both have gathered a lot of 749/999 suspension information from their respective race series, and speak contrary to what that web site says.

Failing that you go with the sec 8 thing! Suspension is both an individual and complex thing, wherever you are happy.

Harv, I'm up for one too. Mine is a humble bip, so has the round frame hole.
