Alternative way to adjust rear ride hight is a Metmachex Swingarm with the eccentric adjuster.

And no you cant have my Hi/Low speed damping Penske it cost more than a Ohlins and unlike a 916 Ohlins it also has a rideheight adjuster.

You could get an Ohlins 46PRXLS - has high/low speed compression adjusters in addition to the normal bells and whistles. Dunno if it's cheaper or not compared to the Penske.

Usually on your side of the pond the Penske works out cheaper, over here its the Ohlins that is usually cheaper, but with the current exchange rate $/£ then its possible to buy Penske or Fox shocks at a good price especially when companies like Lindemann Engineering do special offers.

Hmmmmm.....that just looks like a lump of right lenght box section ally drilled at both ends to accept each bolt (somethign I could manage Hee Hee).

I've always thought the back of my bike sat down too much even with the WP shox fitted (no comments on my weight please).

However, after getting the forks rebuilt for my weight I'm so impressed with the bike generally it does not seem an issue anymore.

If I EVER manage to scrape a header pipe on the floor, then I might consider changing something :D
