Hi. could i ask those that know, is there any difference in the ride height/position between the Sport and SF. they look very similar if not the same. Also if you purchased a 961 Sport with a singe seat can you change this to a dual seat with ease?
Many Thanks Mark.

On my Sport the ride height is adjustable via the rear shocks. This is located at the bottom of the shock unit and is separate from the preload adjuster. The workshop manual tells you the detail you need to know. Otherwise I'd say drop Sean a lineand see if he can help you.

As Lee said you can adjust the ride height with the adjuster on the rear shocks. I'm not sure about the dual seat but when I asked a couple of years ago they were going to change the rear subframe so it may be possible. As Lee suggests call Sean or email him from this site, he is always very helpful.

Sean is no longer at Norton, which is a great shame, he was a top man and an asset to the company.
None of my business to know where he has gone, but I do wish him well.

That's a shame. Does anyone know who the new POC at Norton is?

Mark,
I think they are the same ride height, which isnt adjustable easily.
Im afraid the single seater and biposto have different frames which mean you cant change from a single to a twin seat.
Thank you Steven and Norton have just got back to me and have confirmed that the frames are different. I have seen a sport in the right colour for mefor sale but with the single seat and was hoping i could change to a dual. Looks like i'm gona have to wait the 6 months.

Thanks Lee. Norton have nowconfirmed the seats cannot be interchanged and that the ride position/height are the same on the SF and sport. Mark

Mark, which model/colour are you after?
Krazy horse had 2 or 3 free stock a couple of weeks ago, Im sure one of them was a Biposto, but i think it was in red...?
Ive just checked, they have a red twin seat Sport in stock, plus a black SF and a black Cafe Racer, bothsingle seat,if it helps.
