    So putting mine back would affect, what exactly?
    1/ with the lowering kit.
    2/ without the kit.

    Edit ;-without the kit means just resetting back to standard.

    Possibly someone has removed the forks and replaced them, thinking the line is the position, not 5mm above the line ,as stated in the manual.
    When you said line a couple of days ago I thought you meant the bulge in the fork.
    Mine must be on the line exactly.
    I can almost flat foot both feet and my inside leg is 29in.

    Right.
    Ive had a look and the dog bones look standard, IMG_20181201_203843312.jpg IMG_20181201_203743921.jpg


    The forks are on the line, If I had to guess ,Id say the previous owner has decided to try and sharpen the turn in ,and lowered the yolk through the fork.
    Ill have to see how I feel about leaving / replacing the forks.
    Im just glad Im not paying out for dog bones.
    Now ,as you were guys

    Still have not made up my mind what type of heated grips to get. What type did you go for?

    Got them from Squaredeals make sure you pick the 1" think that gets you a 25mm left and 28mm for throttle

    Had a short run out on the speedmaster, quite warm but a little damp here in Cheshire. Not sure I will get much riding in for the next few days as the weather does not look that good..... Keep hoping though.

    Not had a problem with them before, so sticking with them for now, but unfortunately the "spring weather" turned rather damp, so no bed in today.

    Take the calls from the hospitals and despatch the rider or driver. Good thing is it can be done from home. Don’t know what part of the Uk you’re in but look up bloodbikes on tinternet and you’ll find all the info you need. We have a guy who uses an old bsa and another on a Ducati sports bike
