Forks in the triple clamp

[terrebandit]

I need to readjust my forks in the tripple clamp. Most bikes I've had require that the top surface of the fork be a couple mm above the top surface of the triple clamp. I looked at the owners manual for the FJR and it appears to say that the top surface of the fork should be flush with the top of the triple clamp. Can anyone confirm this? I have a 2007 model.

Thanks,

Dave

You can really do what you want. It's all geometry and weight issues. Get it to where it works best for you.

It can be anywhere from flush to .400 above. Factory is flush on an '07.

Consider it confirmed B)
