Whey almost there. A few bolts that short or the wrong ones still but it's now working. Thank fk.

What a difference it makes. I raised the height and my ass now sits on the seat and not on the tank. Instantly felt right.

I need to slacken the back brake off It locks looking at it.

Do they allow your feet to go further back ?

After my 2nd lesson from Loon Ive got a feeling that would help me out a little. Im not really into buying extras but if it helps might be worth a punt.

Yes forwards backwards and up and down.

They look good and solid but fk me it's been hard work getting this far and I ain't even finished all of them for sure.

The guy supplying them had a nightmare.

Then when I called up expecting him to tell me what I need I had to go back to him and tell him.

He's been great at sending stuff out
I get it the next day no fuss.

But you just don't expect this when buying something. Especially on a bike that's been out nearly ten year.

For all the hassle these have been....

went to fit them, couldn't work it out as he hadn't supplied the right bolts,
he bolted up the wrong length on one,
wrong size shifter rod,
missing bolts,

he has been utterly fantastic with his customer service. I've called up stating what was wrong or missing and within 24 hours its with me.

He's obviously sent me the wrong bolts and nuts for this bike by mistake but as I say he's rectified this by being fantastic with his customer service.

They practically fell on when I got the right stuff, and whilst I may have sat there cursing his name, id buy from them again. Actually I'm thinking of whipping them off at some point to stick them on the street just to see what they are like with that.

Ditto. How many times did you have to chase the parts?

It's poor the item wasn't correct in the first place, however good customer service to rectify the balls up. He could have taken days / weeks to sort the problem.

Ford Focus ST orange with a bit of glittery stuff. It looked really nice up close and personal
