Anyone outhere got one of these set up on there bike ?
I've been looking into one as it will make getting on alot easyer for me.

I have spoken to bubbles and read that thread, he just straps him self on with a tiedown. Other than that i think his bike is standard other than a kliktronic for gear change.
GYTR yours would be a perfect height. what did you do to the rear to get so low ?
I think the new SE comes with those shocks standard.

what i did = the 450 shock springs are a lot harder than the 700 ones. (from my testing) so there for you can wind the big nut on the spring all the way to the top and then just go one turn of the nut each time untill you think it rides good for you. the yfz shocks are about 1 inch shorter to.
