Up in the air!

This evening saw me get enough time to fit the adjustable raising links my friend Kayla at http://www.projection-components.co.uk/ had made for me.
Here's a quick pic of the links-



Funny looking aren't they?
Anyway in for a penny and all that and I went for +40mm set up. Easy to fit and you can most definitely tell that you have gained some extra clearance! Made from 304 stainless which should last a little better than the OE pressed steel items.
Next job I suppose is to re-spring the forks. That can wait until the new year I think. MoT next week!! Hardly seems two minutes since I bought it, never mind three years.

thats areally neat product ...
plus 4cms how tall are you ?

that should harden the suspension considerably ..be interseted toknow how it effects it .. i lowerd mine it was too soft and the shock was worn anyway
i put a new shock on later and had too go up to go up two spring rates as it was way to weak .
the new shock and spring increased the static sag by 5cms on its own which shows how much the lowered well worn o/e set up was

im guessing its going to be a bit harsh withn te soft o/e spring
the change in trangulation will alter the load on the spring considerably as i understand it lowering softens preload and raising inceases preload
and effects the stroke in proportion to the dogbone centres

its going to be the opposite effect of lowering just curios how it gets on for future reference

i put a 90nm spring on and the ride height and static sag were raised way above stock ....the problem is its a lot taller than stock even with in lowring links on but the ride quality is super .... pity about the rider grrr

you can see its the equivelent of a motorcycle wonderbra but its atall old perch on uneven ground ...
you can see

6' 2".
In truth I'll likely drop it to +25mm when I get a chance, but might as well go big from the outset and see what happens
Yes it has altered the linkage rate and thus the 'stiffness' of the shock. I will back the preload off to get the sag front and back right today. It was dark by the time I got done last night though.
I have had a Nitron shock for the lat 15,000 miles after the OE shock died at 10k.
