I think 30mm@tail would be great; then I could drop the forklegs by 10mm again and still have like 20mm raise left and not upset standard geometry of the bike too much.
Now I only have to find out how much shock has to be raised for that.

Do not drop the forks more than 12mm, your front wheel will start to hit the radiator/cylinder.

I also only recommend you drop the forks by 10mm overall if you have the springs and oil changed to suit your weight.

Ha Dave, yes sorry I meant "drop the forklegs" (and raise the front) again so they come back into original position. Thanks for being concerned :-D

Use tap water and a little blended salmon. Should give OEM feel and smell when you replace it.

:lol: ... I meant put them back to stock setting in the yokes (i.e. with only the fork cap showing), not stock springs etc!!
