Measurements were taken with the bike on the jiffy stand, from the outside rear bottom of the left floorboard, to the floor....6 3/4" at full extension and 6 1/4" at full slam. I was quite amazed that there was such a minor difference in this area which is a critical lean angle indicator!
Makes sense to me. The bike should be sitting more upright when the suspension is empty and the bike on the stand. There is probably some Geometry formula that would equate those measurements into lean angle, but I'm not very good with math.
Take a picture of your bike from the back with it on the stand both loaded with air and emtpy. I would be curious to see how it looks. I'm not really concerned, just left a message with Tony and Amee to place my order.
