Calling all LC hybrid owners

[seanrd]

Can you all do me a favour please? Trying to set a static ride height before i get the new suspension mounts welded in, but im struggling to find the height that looks right if that makes sense? Can you post up a pick of your bike, and measure from the top of the rear tyre to the centre of the mudguard above it?

Thanks

Sean

Hi Sean,

I could do mine for you tomorrow but it doesn't have any pipes fitted yet ?.

With mine I've tried to give the rear a slightly raised look over std (std LC's always look lower at the rear than the front to me) but not the "arse in the sky" look which some prefer .

[seanrd]

Spot on please looey, them emails are still bouncing back but only your address for some reason? LC's imo sit to low as standard, but yeah not going for the streetfighter look

pretty sure i got 1 of the standard lads to measure from a fixed bolt hole on the rear of the frame somewhere to the centre of rear wheel spindle then i added 25 - 30mm onto measurment,it all depends on ur fork length and wheel sizes aswell m8,if ur forks are aloy shorter than an lc then u could raise the rear end to much.

[seanrd]

Its got KR1S forks so is simular to yours, looks smart with the kr1s swinger aswell

[scott]

should be ok doin the measurment thing then,but do a dry run to check chain rub on swinger,all depends wot size sprockets ur using aswell m8

Hey Sean,

I assume you want pics of the bike with both wheels on the ground to see what the stance of the bike is like ?. Or are you only interested in the distance above the wheel to mudguard ?.

I've not even seen mine with both wheels on the ground yet so should be interesting . It'll only be a shock length change if it's not quite as I intended .

Don't know what the crack is with these e-mails bouncing, can only be address is wrong or files are too large cos I'm receiving all other stuff to that address ?.

Its ok now looey, ive commited to it lol, about to update the build thread so watch out for it . As for the emails i'll try offmy over acount, if not i'll sling them on a cd and post you it

[looey]

Ok, nice one, lol ;D

[looey]

Got me LC on its wheels for the first time today and pretty pleased with it really. Looks more finished than it is, still quite a few bits to buy and do

Measurement is 197mm from top of the 18in rear wheel to the centre (highest point) of the underneath of the rear muddy.

Looks real good looey, ive tacked mine at 22cm but thats with no weight on the bike so might be just right Can always adjust it using the dogbone length
