fredc Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 if you only need a little shortning just slide the forks up in the yokes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomg Posted July 3, 2023 Author Share Posted July 3, 2023 Looking at dropping it 80-100mm so I'll need them cutting. I can order the shorter progressive springs in instead of cutting the existing springs which I don't want to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredc Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 if you shorten the forks that much it will be unstable unless you lower the back by a similar amount why dont you take a hacksaw to the headstock and weld it back on at a shallower angle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
