Hey Guys.

Im currently rebuilding this little beaut!!

https://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll130/nathaniel91_01/Suzuki%20GSXR%20400/P1000340.jpg

So far ive stripped the calipers (need a rebuild Shocked ), Stripped the tank as that needs de rusting and various other jobs.

However the rear suspension unit is shagged!! plus the bike is a little on the low side for me Confused Is it possible to raise the bike somehow? Im 6 foot 3 and 17 stone so im not a littlun!!!

35mm jack up kits (Not 100% sure if there are any made for the GSXR400 so a little fabrication may be needed)
Made for the bandet 600 https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/suzuki-bandit-600%2f650-35mm-jack-up-kits_W0QQitemZ280519753270QQcmdZViewItem?rvr_id=199284195167&rvr_id=199284195167&cguid=93571ee812d0a0aad3b68cf6fff4862e

You will ideally need to raise the front suspension too, our you triceps will know about it if you don't.

This chap seems to trying it.

If yours are fixed and rigid like this then I would say no time for a new spring, and blame your mother for making you so big!
