a question about the additional trail added by the extenders...

will that additional trail make the bike less likely to want to "stoppy" under braking, and thus letting me barke harder?

Jason, you do realize to notice the symptons of not using this mod you must push your fucking motorcycle pretty damn hard right? Like, push it so it does weird shit.

I do realize id have to push the bike hard, harder than im likely anywhere near pushing it

i already have the extenders, at this point im looking to learn the finer details of how certain changes affect things

Jason...yes it will give more stability under braking and less stoppies....unless you are totally collapsing the front from not enough compression or have the ride height jacked up to the moon or your rebound can be off...did that give you enough options???

yep, cool thanks kevin

Ive got a few pics of my bike going into 1 at bhf and it certainly looks like Ive got a ways to go before bottoming out but I also noticed that I was getting to the point of having the rear end start coming up
the ride height is anythign but jacked up, just sitting the bike looks like its sitting nose high

ill be making adjustments this weekend and hopefully the more i understand what im doing the less chance i have of completely screwing it up

I do have a chart and record everythign i do to the suspension in it so i can undo things later too

You need the bike to get down into the stroke...there's a bunch of alternatives that can cause the bike to leverage up, but also there is a point of it's going to come up regardless when you are braking really hard.

The gauge of that is if you can brake WAY deeper than anybody else if the bike is setup properly.

I used to watch Mladin at Road Atlanta going into turn one from the pit wall.....that dude would brake a full brake marker later than any other factory guy...think about that...they are all already on the edge and he was running it in there lap after lap way deeper and the bike was just really planted.

i was making up ground on the brakes assuming i could hang with them thru the rest of the track
it didnt do anything bad or weird feeling and it didnt try to come around on me when the rear did come up
