To clarify; do you have to remove the front wheel to do the fork adjustment? With the headers secure on a jack, can you place a shim or lever under the front wheel to get the desired fork rise?
Thanks in advance.

All : I have read through this thread and would like to perform this modification as I am inseam challenged. After looking at my VFR (1998) I am confused.
1) There appears to be two plates on either side of the bike that need to be rotated. I can figure out access to the plate on the chain side of the bike but not the exhaust side. Do the bolts run from the chain side to threads on the exhaust side?
2) Based on the picture, am I correct that point “C” must be rotated counter clock ways to point “A”?
3) Does the front end have to be lowered (forks raised) along w/ this modification?
4) Can all this really be done in 20 minutes?
Thanks and if there are any members in the Northwest Florida area (Pensacola) that have done this modification, I would appreciate their help. I will pay for the cold beverages of their choice and even spring for a burger. :D

I would like to keep the front wheel on to reduce the amount of dis-assembl/re-assembly and to keep the front axle in alignment.
Since there seem to be no VFR riders in my area (NM FL, Pensacola) I have to work by myself and I am nervious about doing anything that will screw up the bike.
Thanks for the comments so far.
