you have a lot of room to play with in terms of ride heights or dropping the forks through a bit ;)

Heh what did they say to you about a bellypan/catchtank ?? No issues with your bike not having one ?

Zero Issues Gos, I have jacked up the rear end with longer shocks & had no problems with turn in so I will leave the forks as is, I was more concerned with the pipe clearance, the rearsets are real high which helps :D

cool OK thank mate, I was a bit worried about having to fit one to the 250/3 :lol:

more worried about the brakes on the baby triple at the moment :shock: a test ride next week will be interesting ;)

was just about to ask that... 'cause the ones on the 500F are pretty scary too! Are you even allowed to run dual discs or something?

yeh those OEM period discs are shitful, and the calipers are pretty crook as well. You could change to an RD front end - awesome discs & calipers :kuda:

but the drum brakes on the S1 ??? FMD I better make sure the rear brake is good, that is where all the braking will be done.....

I put twin discs on mine back in the day. The brakes were better, but I can say the pads lasted like for-evah...
