Just got it firing!
Hi All,
I hope is all well - I am after some advice! I am starting the process of customising my V9 Roamer , which I really like apart from the slightly squatting look of the rear end. I am thinking of bobbing the rear fender and raising the rear suspension by 25mm to achieve the flat frame look and lose the pooping dog back end.
I have researched that Raising rear suspension by increasing the length of rear shock absorber will result in a reduction in castor angle, lower trail ratio, slight reduction in wheel base, increased swingarm angle & higher center of gravity.
These geometrical changes results in quicker steering/turning, better handling, better squatting performance under acceleration & more ground clearance. However this also results in higher seat height, lower stability during braking, lower high speed stability & oversteer behaviour.
How noticeable will it be with an extra 25mm in the rear shocks, should I consider better internals in the front suspension too?
Anyone undertaken this? What is the experience?
