...as per a few of the GPz modification sites. Rotating the adjusters so the axle hole is at the bottom raises the rear of the bike almost one inch, giving the same effect as deraking the frame and reducing the trail. I had been using a 130/70 rear tire and changed to a 140/80 at the same time. I can't believe how much better the bike feels. Light but stable steering, "drops" into corners more like a Brit bike, and "stands" up nicely with a bit of throttle coming out of corners. I feel I am riding much more smoothly and a bit quicker than before. I only got out for a bit more than a 1/2 hour tonight, but I'm very happy with this modification. It might not be for everyone but it worked well for me, I'm used to bikes with less rake and trail.

Mcdroid, here's a link to one of the sites and Lorcan's GPzTurbo site
gpzrider.lagemann.org/technical/FAQ2000.htm
750turbo.com/forum/

ah yes, the Fossil and Diapsid handles....I used to work as a Vertebrate Paleo Tech, mainly moulding, casting and mounting dinosaurs, some fossil prep, and some osteological prep. I was usually referred to as the "fossilized one", so I started using Fossil on forums. I could have used anapsid, or parapsid etc, but my main interest was working on dinosaurs. I did have parapasid as an email address for a while, I have another one that is thecodont...

There is another version of the GPz750 FAQ listed in the "Links" section on the right, it contains some of the same stuff, along with some that's not in the one linked in the above post.

To save you the trouble of looking :)

Thanks, that's the one I couldn't find - looked for it but couldn't remember where I had come across it.
