Beg to differ old chap. When lifting the front of the bike with the headstock lift the brake lines are tight as a drum so in my humble opinion the lines in this situation are stopping the forks fully extending. I will be looking at either re-routing them or possibly replacing them when I get around to it. However given it's been ridden for c30k miles like that without disaster I'm not too bothered
