Coerce rear sets

Found that with Leo high mounts and Coerce Rearsets the first thing to hit on the left side is the link pipe Time to get further off

Not that I'm any kind of expert so take this with a grain of salt. Your keeping your body centerline pretty close to the centerline of the bike. I won't go into the physics but the short version is the more you hang off, the less you have to lean the bike. Once I made hanging off more common practice, I haven't come close to having ground clearance issues.

Love seeing the hawk on track. Keep it up!

Totally off topic, but just curious....how did you get away with not having to tape up your headlight for track use?

Plastic lenses so there is no real need, plus I am a long term customer

Another thing to consider, besides hanging off, is your suspension preload. There is more ride height to be had by cranking up the preload.
