    Regardless it has been proven that less offset in the triple clamps produces tighter steering capability at the same rake. I was incorrect in my interpretation of trail, however I am an expert in the effect of reducing the offset in triples as I have done it without jacking up the rear and keeping the original level and stance.

    Hey DumpBear, I am converting my '78 CR to 40mm Enduro forks. I know i'll have to run the forks up 1.5"+ in the tripl clamps and maybe a little longer shocks. I'd like to know what did with the long forks on your '76 and the outcome? Thanks!
