I read on a usa website that a guy dropped the yokes by upto 15mm !!!! without too adverse an effect - with the thin clipons I'm looking at I only need about 5 to 8mm - so yep I guess trying the mod first is the right first step tp take....... My how this thread has changed over time  Frank | |

I have 18 mm of fork leg showing above the yoke and on the road I had no problems at all. On the track however it led to even worse ground clearance problems to the point where I discovered what it felt like to fly....  (Note to self must hang off even more...)With the rear shock off of a later SS on though (One from an SSie) I didn't experience any problems (On the one outing I had like it). I guess I'll find out for sure once it warms up a bit... | |
