Hi Jenny hope you are keeping well,

Thanks for taking the time to reply great help as was your reply to your build thread on the other adv site I wholeheartedly agree with what you said about your friend preferring the Honda 300 to the himmy, it took me a few miles to get my head back into gear but even though i'm running it in an not using all the revs the difference is marked between the two off them even jumped on the motorway and it was nice which is a relief as quite a bit of my riding involves that as I'm trying to decide whether to move to Scotland or to Devon

I'll make sure not to fit crash bars Jenny and just stick with the bark busters I'm gonna buy the fitments to convert my Himmy barkbusters to the Rally an the next thing I'm thinking off is a set of bars just gotta decide between the Renthalls or the Pro Taper as you say.

Do you know Jenny with the level 1 if the seat height remains the same as it's current static sag or is it -40mm as though the rider is sat on it and it stays at that height?

I'll make sure to get it with the Hydraulic preload adjuster, just fitted the Rally Raid Nav mount for my Zumo XT just looks so good I'm a geek for engineering stuff always appreciate a well made part.

I'll have a look into some skid plates, I wouldn't mind getting something that doesn't mean me cutting the fairings quite liked the b&b one in the Adventure dirt bike TV videos.
