That was going to be my plan if I fitted a USD set... As it was I fitter an RSU so it wasn't a problem.
For an RSU setup it would probably be better to get a longer complete set made up by forking by franks.

Or just go with the 1st Gen 1100 forks. They are 29.5" I think and only slightly shorter than stock.

For teh cost of those tubes I would find a set of 4:2:1 headers and really solve the clearance problem.

[salty_monk]

Yes, I have the 1100 ones like you but for proper "stance" of the bike longer tubes would be needed. You still lose an inch or so & it's about more than just ground clearance in my opinion.

What do you mean Dan, If my forks are shorter then the stance is even more racked; I raside my rear about 1".

Without taking account the rear shock height change or the 4:2:1 I figure I gave up only 0.8" in ground clearance at mid bike.

Using the 18" wheel not the 17" I can believe that's the case.

You're still losing some at the front which will make the bike adopt a "nose down attitude".
If that's what you want great, but if you want the stock "stance" you need longer tubes

Yep, Nose down quickens the steering

and you are correct the 18" wheels add 0.5" v.s the 17" wheels

But with 4:2:1 you can usually pick up 1" over 4:1

I saw those last night on OSS. They look great but the price...I'll stay with the 93 gsxr750 forks, CBR929 triples and 4-2-1. Should be fine.
