Raising the ride height of a 696

[darthmoto]

Bringing this back from the dead... This seems like a really useful mod.

Even at correct sag, my sidestand mount scrapes the ground at full lean to the left.... this year I'm setting her up for trackdays, so I gotta get this issue fixed.

So I'm definitely going to go ahead with this mod and have ordered a 1100 subframe shock mount today.


2 questions:

What's a practical, clean and inexpensive way to lengthen the foot of my side stand, and;
Someone mentioned that the rear became a bit harsh due to the new taller rear geometry. Is this simply a case of needing to reset the sag?
