Default Back in the saddle

Hi all after my cars long term storage rebirth and the issues caused by the storage facility jump starting the car destroying various items in the electrical system (argh)

​​​​I'm back on rhe road (yippee) I picked the car up after it having been in the shop since mid January

Something that didn't worry me as I'm still recovering from a motorcycle accident in November last year

While in the shop I had the wheels refurbished spun up and the back ones modified to fit further under the car this has now given me the ability to lower the car as it always sat up in the rear in my opinion

My question is are there any members in Brisbane with access and Knowledge of lowering the car by SDD software that could help me with this
Thanks in advance doc

Given the current Australian mice plague, the higher your suspension is the better! Unless they're scared of cats.

P.S. I do see that the rear tyres would likely interfere with the body if it was lowered at all, even if just the air suspension failed. Some photos would be nice.

Suspension heights look okay, or at least similar to mine. What boggles my mind is that you have 4 CBX's. Had a CB 750F as a teenager and put 70k mile on it. Anyway, good luck with your work.

As for the height maybe I'm wrong she just looks high at the rear to me
