Anyone flipped the rear suspension triangle.

Anyone tried doing this on the >15 CR?
The 800F guys have been doing it for a while thus lowering the rear 2cm & then dropping the front forks 1-1.5cm.
I read a analysis on this at another forum and states it has very little effect on dynamics apart from rear shock compression curve 0.5% softer and the general consensus is better handling.
Downside on the 800F, may have to swap out pegs if racing/cornering hard, not recommended with panniers. I doubt this would be a problem on a CR as with this mod the bike will still have 5mm longer travel than a 800F stock.
Cost $0.00

Nope, I haven't.
Can't really see the benefit either, you read it on VFRD?
I am interested to read excperienes of the 800f guys.

As stated on my thread Best Ride just lowering the seat gave "me" more confidence and control over the bike in the mountains. Also, being short legged, I would still like to lower it a bit more but without the front forks bottoming out on the lower brace, which I think will happen with the 30mm lowering kit. I was thinking more about 1.5ish with seat lowered will get me 3.5mm, nearly 1.5" closer to the ground. Sooo, this mod should do it perfectly for $0.00 &
some report it also improves ergonomics on the 800Fs.
The only problem I can see with flipping the triangle is if the bottom of the rear shock hits the brace rod, but, I assume that would be the case with the lowering links available.

I see, it's just for lowering seatheight.
At 6'4 I have no need for that...
