![]() I have seen the Australian company that makes extensions, and I think there’s a forum member here that also makes them. ![]() It seems like when we’re talking about only at most an inch difference, that somewhere out there has got to be a bike with forks that are a direct front-end swap for my bike (ZR550). It looks to me like maybe some sport touring bikes have longer forks than their crotch rocket cousins, but I can’t find info on those either. Like any bike you look at might list a diameter on the stanchions, and the stroke length, but rarely ever the overall length. So long and short of it I guess is that I wonder why it’s so hard to find reliable measurement info for fork length. I also know that you can change the offset at the triple trees to get the trail measurement back to its original number, but I feel like that would most likely also change the handling. ![]() Not necessarily by a lot, but enough that even if I found some that were otherwise compatible, it would effect the steering geometry. Basically all USD forks are shorter than conventional “right-side-up” forks. Now I don’t know if it’s worth the hassle, and the basics of it I understand, but the roadblock I keep coming up against is length. Well I’m bored because I can’t ride my bike right now, so I got that bug thinking about retrofitting USD forks on again.
