Default Ride Height Measurement Tool
Here is a very simple ride height adjustment measurement tool that I made for use on my 964. I thought some of you might find it useful. It is made out of some 3/8" threaded rod and nuts and 3/8" ID tubing - all from your nearby hardware store. The tubing length is about 115mm and one rod is about 120mm and the other is 190mm.
The pictures should explain how to use them.

Have Fun, Be Safe.

Good idea, but why not just use a metric tape measure.
