My New Ride

[redbirds_imp]

thanks all! it seems most get the 40mm. why did you go with 25mm?

No need for me to lower the bike that much. This bike feels far lighter than it's weight would suggest and I had no real problem riding it at standard height. I did not want to compromise ground and cornering clearance that much (40mm) so went with 25mm and that has worked well. I can mount and dismount without need of standing on the left peg and with the balls of my feet down at stops feels secure even if stopping in gravel. You will need to shorten the side stand by about an inch as after lowering the bike is very near vertical and easily tipped over. You can buy a short stand but cutting and welding was free and simply done.
