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,

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.
That’s one thing I don’t want to do is lower it , my nick name is two tall Tony at work ! LOL. I’ve now found this kit , but I thought someone might have tried something similar,

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.

Reason: spelling correction (king > kind)
Ah ! Well that’s idea out of the window ! Well I’ve got enough to get on with at the moment, still waiting on some parts to turn up ! Then putting back together, ( thanks for the reply on the stability issues tho I really appreciate your input thanks).

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
