[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 97071, member: 597"] There are a lot of variables with the front end clearances.............the size of the front wheel, thus the length of the lower guard stay, the shape of the front exhaust pipe, if the forks are actually bent...............I bet there are many bikes on the road with bent forks and the owners don't even know.........If the steering head bearings have been repaired changing the pocket heights, most all bikes I have done the stem change to the distance between the fork blade spindles and the stem spindles are within 1 mm of being the same. If this is not the case then something will change, as I have said before even leaving out the lower FF 36 washer will alter this. [/QUOTE]
