My Monster is about 27 inches off the ground... its low!!! prob lower when my plump bottom sits on it...

The problem a lot of my bikes have is grounding.. speedbumps and stuff...

I like bellypans.... but how much do they affect ground clearance...

ie slopes and I don't fancy ploughing the fields when I go camping..

any info would be really welcome..

it depends what pipes you have. I have the small imola style belly pan and if you look at the pics the pipes are lower than the plastic.( standard ducati pipes)
Not sure ref other makes

The Imola on my solo decks out a lot - the bottom is a bit of a mess now

Inches , Centimeters ...lol.... thats man talk.... (yeah its 15 kitkats high!)..no inches... cause its a tad taller then my legs..... hense when I stop its like picking up a beetle and watching its legs waggle about..

standard pipes (hangs her head in shame!!)

oh joy of joys I got the longer race one because I have a need for speed .... guess who's gonna be ploughing the fields of Suffolk... no cigar for me tonight...

Il have a look at Scrapps bike again... I don't mind its a nice bike to look at...
if its to low its back on the bay of evil... groan.. hour long post office cue...sigh!
