Well it landed this morning so I've spent the day depleting the world of fossil fuel , fantastic everything I need and delivered how I want it (unlike the previous german offering ) lowering links on order as ive only a 28 leg just for added security , look forward to meeting peoples in june .
Thanks for the help thus far,
Charlie.

I'll be interested to see how you get on with the drop links, as I've only got a 29" inside leg and even with lower kawasaki seat it's not quite enough.

The lowering links I use are made by LUST RACING  had them on my bm 25mm drop the ones for the gtr are 30mm drop which for me is the difference between tiptoe without and ball of the foot  with .

Guess I'm lucky, I don't find it tall in the least. Only bike I've ever struggled with was the 800GSA, that was really tall.

Tablets for my headache nothing to do with nuts and bolts   :mfr_lol:
No help but you could down load the manual to your computer the nuts are self locking and you won't crush what is the inner race of the bearing nics and tight will be fine. :yes:
