Hi Trev, Thanks for that. Ive measured my current ride height (wheel centre to guard): front 350mm and rear 325mm.
I found in the archives that the factory heights were 410mm front, 350mm rear ie 60mm difference. My question is, when lowering a 1600, do you aim to maintain a 60mm difference front to rear? And what heights are an optimum balance between looks and performance?
