Default Closer to making the Hyper mine
As many know, Jay bought a 796 Hypermotard a few months ago, he wants the 1100 and I want his 796, but I am no where near touching the ground on it. So I have a list of mods to attempt to make it work.


First thing is to buy a used seat and see how much I can shave and where my feet land. Next will be switching the spring and adjusting the suspension
Last if needed (probably) add a lowering link and drop the front.

The seat is on my table and I'm working on it now! Very excited, hopefully I can make this work!

Love the motards for how they look etc. Have never ridden one though so no clue as to how they are to ride.

Yes, that's Shannon. She's been blonde now for a while, figured it was time to update the boobies on my Avatar.

Test rode one of these the year it came out. Liked it, but it was definitely a different ride. I'm 6' and I definitely wasn't flat footed.

That's bound to meet the approval of LEO's all over the place

MX riders do that tho.

LOL, That's pretty much what I did at the track, I don't think I get away with that at a stop light though!
