GT750 shocks

Pinky handles real well with Lane's modifications to the suspension, both the front fork mod, and the the rear shocks. I appreciate them when in the twisties.

Just wish I had longer legs at the stoplights.

Yeah, the seat is a little high on Pinky; but it was worth it. I only increased the rear shock length by 1/2" and did the "Cycle World" fork damper mod.

forks up through the clamps by 1 inch (nearly touching the bars).

Thanks Lane,
I was wondering how you had put .75 inch longer shocks on Blueboy than what are on Pinky, and could still touch the ground with your toes... Not a comment on the length of your legs, just an understanding since I too sometimes find myself "vertically challenged".

Blueboy's seat is lower than stock.

I have Hagon shocks that are 1.25" longer than stock and also did the damper rod mod and installed Progressive fork springs in my Buffalo. It is really tall, but handles nice. Rear fender looks a little funky with the extended shocks.
You can't use shocks that are very much longer than stock if you are running stock exhaust or the inside pipe with hit the axle bolt.

Guess I'll stay with the tiptoes thing.
