Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

In order to help others find info on a particular bike, be sure to put the year, make or model of bike that you are asking a question about, in the Topic Title. This will allow people to pass by posts they have no interest in.

At least for track use, most bikes benefit from some combination of a raised rear and lowered front. But there are some exceptions. First gen R6 you needed to leave the rear height stock and raise the front a few mm's. Took a little while for people to realize the the standard changes where going in the wrong direction.
I don't have any experience with your bike, but it may be a similar story.
On the 900rr with it's 16" front wheel, I don't see that, maybe for drag racing?
Who's to say the PO knew what they were doing.
It certainly is. The 6-pots, however, not so much. They look impressive though, I'll give you that.
I did one of these for an owner who thought it was a little down on power stock. Ported, dialled cams, closed up the squish to where it should have been.
Made a slip on tailpipe for it too. Dyno'd at 140 RWHP.
A year later the same owner came back and asked about turboing it....I didn't want to know. I heard through the grapevine that he'd done it - and had the clutch disintegrate on a dyno run. Wrote off the motor.

Maybe so for track use, on most bikes, but in my opinion this handled like a pig and it was so dam uncomfortable to ride.
It shifted all my weight forward onto my wrists and i couldn't sit on the seat properly as i was always sliding forward right up against the tank.
Now it is back to how it should be it is much more comfortable and easier on the wrists. Goes through the twisties much better now as well. I suspect when i have sorted the forks out things will improve even more.
I'm not doubting you, and as I said I have no experience with that bike so I don't know what works on it.
I was just trying to explain why the rear might have been raised up in the first place.
