Have my forks been dropped through the yolks?

[know your limitations]

Are you just trying to make the bike taller overall?  Or are you trying to get a more upright riding position?  It's not really clear what you're after here.

Trying to make it taller overall Mike.
My first Gen 1 was definitely taller but as it was trashed and has now been sold, I don't know how this was achieved.
When I got this one, the lower ride height was the first thing I noticed.
From the few pics and video I have of the old one, the forks appear to have been left well alone so I can only assume it had shorter dog bones, which I'm going to try and are on their way.
Their have been various posts which suggested dropping the forks would help increase ride height but it hasn't helped that my "logical" interpretation of dropping the forks was incorrect. :o

    I thought this was a april foolish joke LOL and yah was pulling our leg .   

I know it appeared like that but my favourite member signature whose name escapes me, says something like, "better to ask a stupid question than make a stupid mistake"
