The Plan, in (approximate) numbers.
1 .Fit the ss yolks giving 30mm offset +5mm on the standard early Monster ones, this in turn reduces the trail by 5.5 degrees, but does reduce the forward weight distribution by 0.25% & also increases the wheelbase by 4.5mm.
2. Reduce rear ride height by 13.75mm (+ 3mm to allow fro changing wheel/tyre to 180/55), this will give the same trail figure that I started with, plus reducing the forward weight distribution by a further 0.41% (giving a total of 0.66%)
How significant a 0.66% reduction in the forward weight distribution proves is I guess the million dollar question. A minor bonus is that I can also junk the risers an save a bit of unsprung weight to boot. Unfortunately I'm doing this as I proceed with the strip down prior to fitting an S2R 1100 lump, so I won't be able to share the results of this mod till Spring, I bet you can't wait. Thanks again for all the input Bitza, P.S. I'll try to have it up & running before the "Weekender" comes to North Wales.
