What's your take (anyone with experience) on going like 2" over on the front end with 13" shocks in the rear? I don't know if it's in my head but with 13" in the rear and a stock front end I feel some more instability at 70+ mph.
What are the pros/cons of going taller up front (aside from obvious ground clearance bonus)? And how tall should I go given 13" in the rear?

You can "slow down" the handling by decreasing the sag (longer spacers or preload) which will stiffen the front end and reduce the effect of the raised rear. Or increase the sag slightly on the rear. Or you can go with longer tubes to raise the front end. I've never tried that, but have experimented quite a bit with sag and longer shocks.

Now that's a damn fine wheelie there!!
Instead of "It's 5 O'clock somewhere" It's 12 O'clock somewhere

Thanks guys. So Squid, you have good enough results playing with the sag? I'll say that what instability I do feel isn't much, and isn't consistent so I figure it can't take much tweaking to fix it.

I ended up raising the rear-end of my bike 1" and lowering the front .5".
I would like to try to configure an holiness piston damper on the top of my triple trees for peace of mind.
Cant be that hard. Couple custom brackets and i think it could attach the same way one did on my CBR.
Clearance from lock to lock would be the hurdle.

I did, yes, but my rears are under 13. Also, sag only helps to a point where handling starts to suffer. Your weight factors in too. If you have preload adjusters it's an easy thing to test. If you don't, It's a pita.
