   If it's 50mm at the back I would personally go 50mm at the front rather than 40 to get a better stance. But at the end of the day it all depends on what sort of look you like, i.e. arse or nose down

   probably go 40mm mate, the weight of the engine will make it sit a bit lower and it shoul look pretty level
