what is the thinking behind altering the rear ride height?
I have looked for setup articles on the ss, but obviously have missed one.................

One of the few problems with the SS is it's relatively slow steering. Once you get it over to the right lean angle then nothing short of running over anther DesmoDue competitor is going to put it off course but getting there in the first place requires a fair bit of effort.
One of the ways to change this is dropping the forks through the yokes a little. This is fine up to a point but eventually you're gonna run into ground clearance problems. The alternative is raising the rear ride height.
If money is really tight (from around £15) a later SSie shock off of eBay should bolt straight up and is around 12mm longer. Other than being newer and probably in better condition the extra shock length offers a noticeable improvement.
