Hi folks,

I have an SZR660 which I'd like to start riding again regularly, but having got used to my SV/R6 I find it miniscule.

It's really just a 125.

I'm wondering how I can jack it up, particularly my legs are cramped.

I'm thinking about adding a lot of extra foam on the seat, and possibly also lowering the pegs and/or jacking up the rear shock?

The foam on the seat is a no-brainer but the rest sounds like it could have other consequences.

Anybody done this before? Any suggestions?

Can you get a Paris-Dakar style fuel tank for it? Smile
