If you survive this? That's a touch dramatic I think... proof being the changes a bike goes through under hard braking at high speeds, to the extent the rear wheel is off the ground. People live through that all the time.qldman36 wrote:surely is th geometry very important.
but the changes are not so heavy that you can recognize any bad results.
Oh yeah? Try this; Slide your forks up 3/4" in the triples and put all preload you can on your rear shock. Now find straight road and bring up to 90mph. If you survive this, let us know how it felt. This was just a geometry change.
Yes, geometry makes a difference. But there's nothing sacred about the factory numbers.
