The MoCo did not do all those years of R&D for nothing;they know what works better than you do, and their "line" are the most aesthetically pleasing in the business. Why Fork with it? Leave it alone, get over this "trendy" mod crap & ride it.

OR...
If you can't leave well enough alone, get adjustable trees. And keep your frame intact.
