    Here are some pictures of my xj. Since taking these pictures i have made some other modifications to it such as an RS exhaust, carbon fibre side panels and a few other things. I am wanting to do a bit of a street fighter look without over doing it. The main reason for this post is i want to know if there is anything that i can do to raise the back end. I thought about putting in a shock from the 900 but dont know if it willl be compatible with my 600 Any suggestions????? also i want to put it to a naked version and want to know if there is anything i should watch out for changing to the clocks from the naked model? This is the first time ive been on a forum so forgive me if this is a bit crap. Thanks.

    It would help if we knew what bike you were talking about (might want to add it to your sig) and maybe where you are located (general Continent is fine) could get added to your profile while you're about it?

    You can post small pics using the website tool. But I find it much easier to use a Photobucket account. Just resize your photo's to fit on the partial page (800x600 or so works) upload to Photobucket. Then from your album you can click on the direct link (which will copy it) and when back editing your post use the image button below the Bold button and paste that link.

    You can ask anything here that's the whole idea. Somebody's probably tried it or experienced it before and can help. There are posts here about raising the rear. Bigger diameter wheel for one, dif shock for two. This should probably become a FAQ since it seems to be a popular mod. Post pictures when you can-always nice to see work being done to resurrect.
