So, I want to use superbike bars on my vfr project. Since I won't be using the clip ons, I'll have 1 1/2" of fork sticking out of the top triple. I'd love for the top of the fork to sit flush with the top of the triple. So, my question is: is it possible to shorten the forks by 1 1/2" to keep the geometry stock and have the forks flush with the triple?
I found this graphic from a little google-fu:
I'm not sure I understand it, since I really have no idea about the anatomy of a motorcycle fork. Anybody have any insight to share?
