If so the opposite of twitchy/quicker steering because
sliding the forks up into the triple clamp decreases rake & makes the bike quicker steering which is something I dont care for myself.
Looses its neutral turn in feel & has a ledge where the bike goes from neutral feel to falling into turn at a different rate at some point in teh lean.
That of course is just my opinion of having raised the forks into the triple an extra 3/8" or so to accommodate some top side clip-ons.
I disliked it so much after two rides sold those clip-ons 
But sounds like your going the other direction so I would "expect" slower steering. |
Raising the front would slow the steering, but I want to also raise the rear. The smallest raise on the rear is 1". Raise the rear 1" and the front 1/4" would give a steering effect of 3/4" raise of the rear. I just dont know how steep an angle I can have before the handling is too twitchy.
