Brat Style - Seat Clearance

[Khaos]

Less than 80kg, but I actually get them to travel more than half.
I'd like to get lighter springs but the +40mm length lifts the back end up and reduces the fork rake just enough to quicken the commuter feel so it's worth it. The CD175 was a 'sport tourer' of its day! Dread to think what a relaxed geometry bike of the era felt like!

Out of curiosity, is there scope for dropping the yokes down the forks a little? Lovely looking bike by the way. Do you have a build thread?

Thanks
Unfortunately the top of the fork tubes do not come through the top tree on the CD so fork height is fixed.

My build is over on Honda twins.
