want my headlight and clocks mounting (steady boys.........not that mounting unless your pigford ) lower on the forks, to give the impression of the back end being higher than it is, without the seat being raised if you understand what i mean.
any help would be appreciated

Dont know if this is what you mean but i cut four inches off both front springs on mine with an angle grinder and it lowered it quite a bit. I also took the precaution of removing half of the fork oil too and bumping the air pressure to 30 bar. Needed a bit more so fitted a 17inch front wheel and let some air out of the tyre. I put one inch longer back struts on and two inch longer springs on them and turned them up to top notch. This way the overall symetry and layout of the bike remained the same with everything still in its' proper place but gave it that certain something. The French have a saying that covers it but i forget now. Looks like a proper drag bike now, in fact it looks just like Andy Z1r's drag bike, (see other posts) very purposeful and i can get my tiny legs over the seat at long last.

Let me know if you need 'orthographic projection' drawings etc.

don't feed the troll

I think I saw your bike featured in Streetfighters recently

Just remembered, the French call it Metisse. Its' a type of animal.

It what they used to race at the TT before the Frst War. I think. After 1920 they spelt it properly.

The Frst War was that during the ICE AGE
