Cool Jack up kit

Does anyone know if they make a jack up kit for f3 ( steely frame). 1995.? I’ve seen them for ally frame (1999 on ). If so has anyone tried one , does it make any difference to handling,

I'll claim ignorance. I don't even know what that is.

Well if you don't know I'm certainly not going to tell you.....(line my father used all the time when I would ask him what something meant)

I'm not sure either unless OP is referring to spindles for paddock stands.

Really? When I see brackets like that, it says "lowering kit" to me. Those are used to lower the rear of the bike for vertically challenged riders. Naturally you need to lower the tripple tree on the forks or you're really going to screw up the steering/handling. I don't understand why people want to mess with that. Honda CBR's are the best handling bikes out there. Honda is famous for it.

It raises the rear by 30mm? I think you're going to have some high speed stability issues with the kind of impact on Rake/Trail that it's going to have. Are you planning to raise the front as well? I don't think there is 30mm available to go up in the front.

30mm would be crazy! I did raise mine by about 5mm using washers under the upper rear shock. One of those mods that I "think" made a difference re: flickability, but I wasn't taking it to the track at the time, so
