Yes , you understood me correctly, have gone back to standard dogbones although I don't run a standard rear shock. I have an Ohlins with remote preload adjuster which makes adjusting for varying weights a lot easier.
Some on here will advise against lowering the front via the yokes too much but interestingly I've never seen any evidence that any of them have actually done it and had a negative effect. I on the other hand have lowered mine at one time by 30mm with no problems and have now settled for 26mm.
As for your unscientific theory about the extra rear sag compensating, I have no idea, obviously too scientific for me :lol ...I just tweak and ride them till they feel right for me.
