Hi All, I have just had the Fireblade RR6 engine fitted to my Fury, being a lot taller than the 893 the sump now sits 21/2" off the ground.
I need to raise the chassis up at least an inch. What is the best way to do this.

2.5 inches seems ok to me , that's 63mm's , mine's 58mm's without issues.

Have you considered winding up the platform on your shock absorbers. Or is that not an option.
I guess you will lose some droop, how much will you have left?

Kev, it was the section and the wheel size as wheel.

You might get something by running 185/70 or 205/60 on the front. Only alternative is to wind the spring mounts up.
