Who has them and do they come in different sizes?
My rear is low - after the subframe was welded at a lower angle.
I can only find 25mm ones on ebay - Im going to need at least 3inchs minimum. I cant take pillions and this is the last thing I need done to complete the bike.
Im sure the shock is ok - and its on its highest settings?
My friend who sprayed the bike said he would measure it up and get someone to make it, but he is just too busy at the moment Thumbs Down
Bike is 99 R1
Thanks guys.

Why not reweld the subframe at the right angle?

This.

A jack up kit will change the suspension and steering geometry of the bike, whereas fixing the subframe will fix the problem. Adding a Jack up kit will make the bike less stable (possibly dangerously so) and will just be a sticking plaster for the problem.

You'll be masking one problem and probably creating many others...

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.
