    I'll have a look when I get home, Martin. Can you give me more of an idea of exactly where on the tail you want me to measure to?

    If you look inside the tail about half way along beside the exhaust (up underneath) there is a bracket/bolt hole that I think the stock exhaust may have joined too. That would be a good place if any of that makes sence

    No problems. I'll take a look when I'm back home at 3-ish.

    Measuring from the centre of the rear axle up to the bolt hole I think you're talking about below I'm coming out at 62 cm.

    Martin, am I missing something here?

    Have you changed to a different shock that is non OEM length or something?

    What are you trying to accomplish? :/

    I have a favour to ask. [​IMG][​IMG] can some one give us a picture of where all the breathers go. I've got pipes going everywhere ! The service manual doesn't show thAt my fuel breather pipe has 2 tee pieces meaning I have 3 ends. One goes down by the side stand. One goes through a hole on the tank and the last one goes up the left hand side of the frame to the front of the engine block?
