You should have all the adjustment you need moving the forks in the trees and/or setting the proper preload/s. Can't think of a reason why I would wanna jack the rear end. It will make the steering a hair quicker but at the cost of raising your center of gravity.

Hmmm.

I set the preload up 1 notch on my rear, It steers better IMO

Well i've fitted the new 30mm jack up kit from lust racing. pretty easy to install, makes the bike definately turn in quicker and puts your weight more on your wrists. all in all i think it feels a lot better on bends, however i've not rode it at high speed yet so thats where the real test will come in. i think it looks better too. i'll add a pic when its light tomorrow so you can all see the result.
A couple of things they dont tell you before you buy it that are well worth noting before fitment if anyone gets one is 1. you will need to move your exhaust outwards from the bike, just by 2mm, so that it clears the swing arm. 2. you will need to move your back wheel back a bit to take up extra slack that it puts in the chain. Apart from that so far so good!
