I changed my stock forks to full race tech internals.
springs to match my skinny short body
and the gold emulators.
everyone for pushing me in this direction
The forks turned out to be way longer than what I had at first.
I think because the orginal springs were dead and the wrong oil
was used. I liked the look of the lower front height though.
Will I be sacrificing safety if I shortened the forks down a bit by sliding
the fork higher into the bracket? I haven't tested it yet, but I like the bike when it is sitting at almost 1/4 inch above the stock setting (the cap top touching the bracket).
I'm asuming that the longer the fork the easier to stay straight
and the shorter the easier to turn. My problems with the forks before
were long curving freeway ramps at high speeds where the ruts in the road would jiggle my handle-bars and make me feel scetchy when leaning at high speeds. Am I just making things worse adjusting the height?
