do I have this right ? I have a 78 650sr I have shortened the forks about 2in and installed longer rear shocks left the stock swingarm reducing the angle of the rake and making the bike lenth 78in or about 6in shorter front to rear, will this bike handle better than a stock SR,I have also lowered the center of gravity by custom seat(2.5in cafe style) and superbike bars running 16x130 rear tire and 19x110 front
Make sure you don't get into neg. trail, as it won't be pritty!!

for a street bike, i wouldn't bother. i would lower the front end with the internal collars, and then drop the tubes in the trees an inch or so.
Do tell...

I am not happy with the space between my pipe and front fender, which I understand has to stay on.
I know with a v&h pro pipe or pco you have to rake the frame a little.

you have the fork tubes dropped quite a bit.
there is, what, 2-2.5" above the top triples?
that is where the clearance issue comes from.
