Coast to Coast
Just discovered a significant problem. I think the bike is going to be too low.
Stock forks are 33". Stock front wheel is 26". Stock you can get away with dropping the forks 1.5".
Gsxr forks are 29.5". A front r1 wheel (used as a template) with a brand new tire is 23.5". So even with dropping the forks measurement stock I'm still in a 2" deficit on forks and 1.5" on the front wheel.
Man I really didn't want to make custom trips for this. I'm definitely going to have to move the rear shock mount down. I cant afford the inch loss on the rear on top of this. So I will move the rear one inch down which will counter the one inch loss of the 14.5" shock and add another inch ride hight. Hopefully this will be enough otherwise Gullwing upper trip will be needed.
