Anyone have a shortened telelever wishbone for a 98 1100s. Looking to sharpen up the handeling but mainly reduce the ride hight slightly.
I launched myself off my trials bike (again) around a month ago and managed to damage my hip.
I have had the seat modified and worn my platform boots But am still having trouble footing the bike, no issue solo as I hook my a**s over the seat and just use the one leg but a bit more difficult when two up.
Cheers

Could you post a pic of your bike side on so we can see the shaft (oo err...
)
It might be that the rear is raised by a shortened paralevel strut and a longer (standard) one would solve it. Usually you can tell just by looking if you know what to look for.

Having issues attaching photos however when the grand kids get in from school I will get them to take a look. The strut looks pretty standard measuring 385mm between the hole centres.metropolis2k wrote:Could you post a pic of your bike side on so we can see the shaft (oo err...)

exchange units now productionised [ Telelever ].
We're just waiting for feedback as to what finish peeps want - raw, Satin Black, satin Black textured [ as front "frame" ]. That will determine the price.
Here's the "naked" pe-production unit so you can see the quality of the job.

Re: Photos
That sounds standard! You're next option might be looking for a lowered shock. I presume you've got standard shocks in there and not the taller yellow spring sports ones?Malj wrote: Having issues attaching photos however when the grand kids get in from school I will get them to take a look.
