Pics look great. she looks a bigt low at the back, have you fitted shorter tie bars?

i had ones made that where 25mm longer than the rgv ones, to make the subframe to rearwheel spindle legnth longer than the kr1 to allow for the rgv wheel...think my ohlins may be a bit shorter than std one...

Whats the length of the standard RGV tie bars? the one's I made are 186mm long which is spot on for a standard shock but my ohlins shock is longer, so I need to make some more so I'm going to try 192mm between centres

standard tie bars are 168mm between c of holes mine are 193mm i think, mmmh just bloody thought if i put the std ones on that will raise the back up wont it? knob.....
will swap them over..
you using the kr1s linkage or rgv elf?

I'm using the KR suspension knuckle with a couple of spacers. Do you want to swap linkages as we seem each others size?

The standard RGV ones are way too small and give too high a ride height.

Corky it was a pleasure riding with you guys on Friday at Anglesey. The Hybrid is a fantastic bit of kit with some really trick stuff. However the picture proves that I wasn,t actually inhaling your fully synthetic all Day

I will attempt to post some pictures of my pride & joy.

I want to do anglesea some time as it looks ace.

Corky: I'll PM you my address and we'll get them swapped over. they need a bit off fileing to look perfect as I made several ones to try and experiment with and I never got round to finishing the shaping.

Just measured everything up and we are both wrong

Mine are !80mm BC and yours are 192mm. Guess what???? Yep yours are too short and mine too long. I think we both need to get some 186mm ones made

But atleast we now know the size we need.
