Ride height adjusters
What with the NEC looming and also the fact that my wife wants ideas for Christmas, I was considering an aftermarket ride height adjuster for the 748. Primarily to make adjustment a quick and easy affair and without the risk of seized or stripped threads on the standard one. I have seen them on race bikes - adjustment by means of one central nut to either decrease or increase height. Does anyone have experience of these and can anyone recommend particular brands?

I've got one that I got from Alan at AJ Racing (no longer trading cos he's got a race team job). Not branded in anyway so can't comment on that.

Central nut makes it a breeze to adjust.

Not sure if you'll find one at the NEC though, and they're pretty cheap anyway.

Call Craig at MotoRapido, as they had some in stock last time I was in there, and I'm sure he'll cut you a deal.

Nelly,

Is this the adjuster you're talking about? (see attched pic)

If so, I'll take a one.

Cheers, Neil

Heard back from Nelly and as suspected, it's not the type in the pic I posted. That would just have been too good to be true!!!

Bugger, cant remember exactly. I think it was about £100. Maybe a little more.
Techmoto do a similar version to the one above. If memory serves me correctly, they are about £160!!!
