Thanks. The rear isn't squatting noticeably, and the rear ride height actually seems to be slightly higher than how I recall my 748BP and 996S to have been setup. I haven't measured it - I'm just going by memory.

I'm just canvassing opinion on what, if any, changes people who are running the steeper head angle have made to complement (or make up for deficiencies in) the different steering geometry. However, Shazzam has clarified the issue relating to controlling/avoiding tankslappers by holding the rear up.
