Yep thats exactly what I did Cam.. It could have somthing to do with the fox eye?? but I doubt it because they are so alike. Only the headlight is different..

Lift the rear with some 155s that will help. I found the 158 did bugger all.
But I did only try them on the road not the track..

Oh while I think of it. I have much stronger springs in the front, That could help, although I still crompress the forks to the stops when racing. I have a zip tie on the fork leg & it is only 15mm between the fork seal & bottom of the leg when racing. So Im getting full compression of the forks.
You can just see it in this pic>>

Not sure either Cam, but your problem posses an interesting problem... The fact that you have gone so far as to discover it also says a lot. How are your forks for sag and the like?

Sorry for hijacking your race thread, Steve.

So I made a new thread for discussing geometry changes...
