    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

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.
 
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 :rolleyes:

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.
