Hi y'all. did the usual search, didn't see an entry on this. Have a friend with a F6B. Him and his spouse enjoy our twisty roads here in Tennessee. Unfortunately, he has a lack of ground clearance and scrapes. Preload is set to max. We'll be getting rid of the stock front fork suspension for Progressive to better the front end (and disable the anti-dive), what can be done for the rear suspension to improve ride height?


Thanks in advance...

A suitable spring rated for two up weights.

Agreed, a higher rated spring would help. Was thinking there might be a raising kit somewhere, or someone who knows of a method to raise it like there is a lowering kit for the 1800...

Could put on a 180/65 rear tire. It'll raise it a bit and fix the 3% speedo/odo error.

Oh, and it is easier to get on the center stand.

You could put a 70 series tire on the rear. Scraping the peg feelers isn't a problem. I think of them as curb feelers. I'm close enough when they touch.

I added the Progressive rear spring to mine, easily added 1 to 1 1/2 inches but the plush ride will suffer.
