raise gen one stock forks

[Randy Grein]

That's 1mm over the 'maximum' depending on how you measure. At zero  
(top of the tube, sans cap flush with the top of the triple) there is  
14mm free with the forks fully compressed. The extra mm would be  
absorbed by the dust seals if that's important to you.

I ran mine at a full 14mm drop, rear shock at 13 7/8 (I know, mixing  
measurements) and I had 30mm sag in front. Keep in mind that spring  
rate, compression damping your weight/bike weight and how you ride all  
have an impact.
