Raked tree cups?
#21
So if you put in 2 inch longer fork tubes, you may have to drop the bike at the rear a little too. Or take even longer fork tubes and cut them down.
How does one actually measure whether a bike is level? I guess you do it under load, with the rider sitting on it. But how would you measure it exactly?

Just my thought's and engineering opinions. Not trying to step on any sponsors toes.

Ripsaw, I think your throwing way too many what if's in this.. once the bearing race is pressed into the neck, you wont have any movement!! just like the stock race, once pressed it, it wont move, so hitting a bump wont jar anything loose.. And i have 24,000 miles on my daily driver which has the 3 degree rake.. I know rake and trail are important but this mod doesn't put your bike into a dangerous condition.. Now this is just my opinion because I ride my bike almost every day and it doesn't ride any different from when I bought it, except for better handling at speed. I also thought about doing a 3 degree in the tree's but I like it the way it is right now.. I'm not an expert or a tech or college brain, just a rider..I dont need to know the calculated results of a mod I do, if I like it I use it, if not I go back to what I had.... And thats my 2 cents for the day...it's saturday!! go out and burn a tank of gas,it'll feel good...later...
