ok so i have aftermarket dog bones ? I think, didn't seem very high, shock preload should be 180mm according to the manual, mine is set around 165mm think that would point to light front end ?

Hmm, that's food for thought, thanks Miz. I'm still thinking I may drop the front a tad over the weekend, guess I should just "suck it & see"! :D

They are aftermarket Keithy - yours look fine. If you still need more rear height you could increase/restore rear preload and try it out on a ride.
