My bike unfortunatly is starting rack up the milage and I feel that a new shock be a nice improvement, I've heard of people putting a F4i shock on a F2 however it raises the tail three inches (I think) but i'm not sure about that. Has anyone done this conversion and if so how much did it raise the tail, and is there any advantages or disadvantages to having the tail end up higher than stock. I don't take my bike to the track and mostly do a lot of country road driving and enjoy hitting the twisties hard, just to give you an idea of what this shock would be used for. Any imput would be appreciated.

raising the tail on any bike will cause it to turn in faster but possibly make it less stable at high speeds or straight lines (highway)

i have an f4i rear shock on my f2 and it does raise the tail up a decent amount. the only problem that i had was that it forces the bike to lean at a lot greater angle when on the side stand, almost to a point that it seems that it may fall over, so i welded a one inch extention onto my kick stand by cutting it and welding up the one inch piece
