Hi all

Can someone do me a small favour and measure the standard rear suspension droop with a 6th Gen on the centre stand.

The dimension outlined in this image.

[image: vfr800-rear-droop.thumb.jpg.e0999c92f15eb4f4fc6673e3cc8a89f4.jpg]

I need the distance from the centre of the axle to the centre of the rear hole on the pillion peg mount.

Thanks

Phil

Will do 🙂. Are you planning on changing the geometry of your bike?

I’ll send something over when I’m off work approx 11 hours from now.

Tonight, sorry 🙂. You want it under its own weight or on the center stand?

Near as I can tell, 380mm. On the center stand.

Thanks AJS

Yes I was wanting it exactly as shown in the image, on the centre stand with the wheel free.

I've already altered the geometry and I had this written down but seem to have lost it.

Great and thanks
