Drag bars....

[nightrider]

just know, if they're touching tank at full turn, they will dent tank if you go down. I have the multiple dents from the first pair of dragsters still 

[frye]

lol...thats why im not going to frop my bike  *knocks on wood*
and i dropped my bike once before when it had stockers and it got a huge dent.

Thanks for the info guys, sliding the forks down just a bit (about 1/4") worked great. Now, to just NOT drop my bike lol. Surely 1/4" won't effect the geometry enough to make any difference in handling right?!?! One more question.. From what I've gathered what I just did is to "raise" my bikes front, so to "lower" it the process would be just the opposite, where the forks would be exposed above the top triple correct? I do not want to do that, just curious.

No, just the opposite... you actually lowered your front. Think about it. Think long and hard.

Sliding the forks downward through the triples (tripleclamps) raises the front end of the bike.  Same as raising the triples up the fork legs.

Or, you could look at the front end as being the front wheel, in which case, you "lowered" the front end in relation to the rest of the bike.

Ok, well.... If I had measured from the top triple clamp to the center of my front wheel before it would have been "X" inches.
Now, after pushing the forks down through the triple clamp, the measurement would be "X+1/4"".
This is assuming zero load on the forks, bike suspended. So if increasing the distance between the top triple clamp and center of wheel is
"lowering" my bike then I woulda have to ask another question : How does that effect the price of green tea in China ? lol, I think something got lost in the translation......

i was just being sarcastic... I mean come on... forks up, bike down

Thats not sarcasm... nice attempt at a cover up though.   

I have low rise which are very similar to drag bars. Mine have a little rise and pull back.

Just to let you know the wrist fatigue goes through the roof for me. Especially with my lady on the back.

Be ready for it.

um... I am not the brightest person in the world but I'm not THAT DUMB. I just replaced forks a couple months ago. And surprisingly enough, this part of it was not difficult for me to understand 

[The Antibody]

Nothing personal nightrider, I just like to call people out. By the way, I won't hold your low IQ against you .

read up on 'trail'...when you move the forks up or down it changes your trail...
