Gents I had a good look around and even spoke to Jaxon and I cant get this cleared up.
I am (188cm) 6' 2 and I find myself flat foot with knees bent on the bike with no luggage (preload set to 2 up). The real problem comes in the twisties where I am scraping, particularly the LHS very easily. The bike on a flat surface has the rear wheel about 35-40mm off the ground (OEM tyres) So I am thinking an inch or so, 25-30mm lift would be fine (I did this to my last bike).
I have found a vendor that only does a 20mm lift link for the ES. They also say the raising links are ES specific. The part number for the 14/15 ES and Non ES stock links are different, so that is a fair thing I suppose. I was hoping for more than 20mm lift to make an appreciable difference.
Also when I spoke to Jaxon, he had no difference between an ES and Non ES raising link and had no specifics on what the actual rise on an ES can be with his link.
Any experience out there with raising the ES?
Thanks for any advice.
