Did you happen to meet the seller in Monticello?
Yes and from your bike description, I'm guessing you were there as well. I'm happy to say the bike is doing great! Amanda and I are itching to ride and contemplating moving to a more motorcycle friendly climate at some point. You'll have to inform us of any rides and we'll join, I'd love to see that beautiful turbo of your's again.

Glad the bike is treating you well.
Greg took pretty good care of it.
We'll get together this coming season.
Let us know if you have any questions about the Blackbird.

Sounds great! Definitely let me know and I'll be there. Were you riding around Cortland this past season? I was told another xx was in the area a few times but never saw the bike myself or I would have stopped to talk.

Nope, wasn't me.
Most of my riding was to the east...Vt, NH, Adirondacks, Catskills
Covered that area pretty well but I should be up your way this year.

The rear may have been lowered by rotating the triangles at the bottom of the shock. The arrows should be pointing forward towards the engine. For better handling, most put a 6mm washer stack or shim on the top of the shock.
If you put your bike on the center stand you should be able to judge if the bike is lowered and how much. Stock the rear is about 3" off the ground. Raised 6mm the rear is just off the ground. That's if the front has not been changed.
