Can you add 2" longer fork tubes to a 2012 WG with out changing hoses and such?

Might be the new seat or the one inch over shocks, but the bike seems to be a bit lower in front, thinking a bit longer tubes might cure that.

I like the ground clearance so I'd rather not lower the back.
TIA

Do you know anything about the "trail" of the front wheel. The trail affects how the bike handles. What you are talking about doing will change the trail. So you might want to consider this before you look at cables.

you can put 2 inch over tubes on with no ill effects... used to run them on mine,,, handled great!

 

Ya, I run my Sporty years back with a 13 over girder front end with the neck raked so the bike sat level, fun back then, probably a bit much now...

Appears it's the seat, got the wife to take a picture with me sitting on it and the bike is level, gonna go back to the stock seat and see what happens.

I do like longer front ends, but not so sure at 64 I want to change the handling all that much, was thinking 2" wouldn't cause to much change...but not sure.

Thanks all.
