I just put on bonneville shocks and raised the fork tubes up an inch. And man does the bike look the buisness now. And it was so easy to do. Took me a total of 35 minutes including removing the stock thruxton shocks. It sits real low and mean, looks like its ready to spring into action. Well worth it.

Question for those that have done this. Should I worry about the kickstand? The bike wont fall over right?

cheers, jason

Jason - do use a little more caution when parking, I've done this mod and use extra care when parking on slopes. The kick stand extension arm that you use to deploy the kick stand with your foot will also drag when you hit a heavy bump or dip while leaned over a fair amount in corners. JCW
