Agreed seat unit looks much better but can looks wrong to me. it's too long for the bike. my thinking is that high level cans have to be just right or they will always look out of place

thanks for the feedback fellas i did copy the high rise from a yoshi system for the 1000's you can buy but i tried to get it to follow the seat line so it is a bit shorter . i was unsure of it myself at first but looking at the pictures they dont look as good as the flesh have a look at the bikes below but thanks for the comments its all food for thought as they are cosmetic changes that have been made to the bike so i would like as many opinions as i can get . i do like the seating position now if your tall and have a srad this is the mod for you feels almost like an enduro being sat on it

thanks guys for comments took it out for the first long ride yesterday and what a difference after getting use to the weight distribution and the fact that i had working shox and forks again WOW what a difference the preload etc settings were spot on for myself i finally decided that i do like the exhaust where it is as before when i touched the peg down i was always worried about the can touching down ( maybe a stubby watch this space ) the only thing that makes me feel uneasy now is how easy the front end skips on the floor due to the gear change , just need a dyno jetting and paint job now

what next ? Twisted Evil maybee cut the front end off Rolling Eyes
