Jack up kit versus dropping the forks.

[PieEater]

Yes, cosmetics is one reason, plus I'm tall and feel like I'm sitting ONTO a chopper sometimes lol. After putting one leg over and sitting down, feels like my head height has dropped about a foot.

High speed stability is affected apparently, by raising the rear on dogbones (obviously magnified the higher you go)... don't know exactly how that will manifest itself, don't want to be in a situation where it happens either!  :eek

I'm 6'3" with an inside leg of 33" with the 50mm Jack up and my Nitron shock on maximum ride height the bike looks and feels the right size for me, I've never experienced high speed stability issues.
