Apart from being tempted at the mo to donk it with a sledgehammer or jump up and down in sheer frustration on the tank you mean?

When I brought it the seat was a little lower .. and it had a shorter hyperpro shock on it...
But the shock was as soggy as a very soggy thing and was saggy as was the wrong size / set up not nice.

It has had a shorter shock put on , forks through the yolks and set up a bit better at the back.

The seat has been shaved more..

The hoop is standard not been cut.
I had toyed with cutting the hoop down a bit but was advised not to as it is so low as it is.
The issue is ground clearance..

Ive already hit a speed bump (outside Parkingsons Ducati of all places

) and I have a pig of a place to get my bike out of.
There is a slope and a bump stone thing that I need to get shot of but not sure how...
Sledgehammer hmmm but knowing my run of luck at the mo il wack it and send a lump of stone through my neighbours Merc!

The plan was to see if I could try a stiffer shock and get set up at MCT without getting more lower to the ground.
It wouldn't be funny if I got home and got wedged up a hill ... well not to me

so that was the plan...
Big service and change of shock... heard MCT work wonders.

However bike has decided even with that big carrot dangling to be a ... and not play so the MCT budget has been blown on fixing parts.

So big service next then MCT ..
He is still a fraction too high for me !

I recon all it needs is a couple of hours with a meter, a bit of general purpose spannering - WD40 and a cable oiler works wonders for old clutch/throttle cables, brakes are a clean/lube (i've got a great method involving a can of 3 in 1 and a "G" clamp) and a fuel filter to catch the rust! and an hour or two in the company of an electrically minded bod.
Voila! Robert surely will be your fathers brother!
