    Welcome  :152:

    Nice area to live in for good roads locally.

    Couple of us go down that way often, especially the Swinefleet --> Crowle loop.

    Maybe we'll run across each other sometime  :028:

    Yea full heights lean right the way over. I'd pay attention to parking, try to avoid parking with sidestand pointing downgrade.

    There isn't a longer version that fits as far as I'm aware but a lot of people modded them one way or another, an extender is a good place to start but the majority look bulky as hell. Have a search for it on the forums  :028:
