It wouldn't really matter if they were as you would just have more fork above the yoke to get it to the correct geometry - obviously within reason!

It's the fork TRAVEL which is the important bit!

I think the ST forks are only about 20mm longer than 916 ones, and it's all in the fork body as the travel is the same. Chances are that the 999 ones are close enough not to make any difference, but don't quote me on that!
