Makes putting the bike on the centerstand a real bitch.

You can flip the eccentric adjuster over so that the "center" of the hub
carrier is higher than the "center" of the swing arm. The only two
disadvantages I can think of are less clearance for your "hugger" mud
guard, and a little more "squat" at the rear suspension under power due
to the longer lever created by moving the chain's pull point away from
the swing arm center. I'm not sure without really looking closely if
there are any brake caliper implications or not.

Did I not read in one thread that you can get a little more by adjusting
the rear wheel hub so the bike sits lower?
Feel like a real biker today, damp!

Oh, I *can* ride the Sprint, and I have been for years. It's
just that I know the price is that I'll occasionally tip it
over when I hit a marginal low-speed situation.
>some clever shaping might do it.
That's my plan. I just bought a used seat on Ebay, and I'm
going to send it to Sargent. Has anyoen used them to lower
and narrow a Sprint seat? If so, how much did it get you
and are you happy with the results?
