Nice looking bike, can you describe what did you do to it all? I am especially interested if you raised the front end and how much did you raise it.

this is what has been done to it so far
Renthal enduro High bars
16t front sprocket (now Back to STD 17)
Decent Handguards
DNA air filter
End Can
Pazzo short levers
Fat Foot Pegs
EBC sintered HH pads
Braided brake hoses
Pirelli MT21s
Heated Grips
30mm raised dog bones
forks dropped in yolkes
Givi Trekka 46ltr
12v Acc Socket
Removet the crappy bit under reat mudguard
Smaller no plate
Zumo 660
raised front mudguard 1.5 Inch
Home made Fender extender
engine bars (not here yet)

Raising the bike is not hard, front is a simple case of dropping the forks through the yolks about 10 mm the rear was raised by using 30mm shorted dogbones they were about 40euro's from [url=http://www.bikefarmmv.de]Motorradzubeh

I raised the end for around 5cm with 10mm shorter dog bones than OEM. Did you men you raised it by 30mm with shorter bones or did you shtoren the bones for 30mm?

I am a bit worried what kind of efect will the dropped forks have on tripples and flexing.
