    Hi all,
    Has anybody on here ever fitted a jack up kit to there bike.
    I've got a 2005 speed and I love it but when I get to speed the front end comes up on me.
    So I was wondering if this would stop the problem.

    Most people don't see the front coming up as a problem ;)
    You could try dropping the forks through the yolks a couple of mm to see if it works.
    Or wind up the pre load,that should raise the back a bit.

    If you want to speed up the steering, before you do anything else get the bike's front end off the ground to allow you to check the movement of the bars. If there is any cable or bearing drag, you'll need to sort that out before modifying the bike.

    After that it's a matter of raising the rear end or lowering the front end.

    if you raise the rear end up you will more than likely find the front comes up more i always found that on the gsxr1100 i used to do it too did
