Looking for someone with 155 bones fitted to their FZR1000 Exup that's close enough to visit mine to try out a fit of a prototype stand corrector
Idea is to see if the item corrects the amount of extra lean of the bike caused by fitting shorter bones
It doesn't involve any permanent alterations to the bike as it's bolt on bolt off
Can't fit it to my own as I have std bones and aftermarket shock... plus my bike is buried and still in its vac bag
Send me a PM if you're willing to assist
Thanks

It would be if I could try it on someone's bike. Unfortunately my bike has the non std shock which in itself alters the height

Later only cuts up to 1" thick lol
On a serious note......
Had a quick look at the shape of the bracket on the ace and it's not straight forward from memory. I'll double check or you could sort a close picture of the bracket on yours

Hi Stig,
Just seen this, did you get sorted?
I've got 155 dogbones using standard shock and not very happy with the angle of lean so more than happy in both assisting with an adapter and buying one.
