Did you raise the front at all to match it?

If not, I imagine your turn-in got a lot quicker? On the bad side, did it decrease trail enough to make the front unstable?

Oh yeah, the turn in is way quicker but the front is VERY unstable, it will tuck the front in if your not carefull. I'm ordering new internals from race-tech (emulators, springs and better oil) I don't want to eat pavement on the next track day.

At least as a temporary fix, do you have enough room in the triples to raise the front to match?

If not I imagine you'll need to use a whole gixxer front end to get the front up high enough to avoid the huge decrease in trail from raising the rear.

1" up in the rear is a lot!

Either that or grab a damper and turn that thing WAY the fuck up!
