It would never end well. I found lifting the rear sub frame up to be the key ingredient to success that everyone says it is.

I had the bike on a stand so I popped it into first and supported the sub frame with a piece of timber with one end against a tyre knob, with the expansion chamber removed obviously.

If you are old, crippled and blind like me a hydraulic bike stand that lifts the bike up to the required height is invaluable.

I was able to be seated with the carb right in front of me at the perfect height.

It doesn't have to be one of those space robbing full length platform bike lifts, just the smaller one.

A word to the wise, if you have the bike full height so the foot pegs are level with your nipples and decide to remove the front wheel, be ready to grab the fork leg to stop it flipping arse over backwards.

Ask me how I know...

The Nissin set up is adjustable for height. Remove the pin from the clevis and move the pedal and master cylinder so that you can spin the clevis on the brake rod (after loosening the jam nut). You may need to check a couple times but you you can easily move the pedal to where you need it using this method.

Silverfox - it's definitely adjustable. Check out this vid for reference:
