I'm going to raise my lowered 2011 TE 630 using its stock suspension link, and since the forks are also sticking out from the top triple clamp by a fair bit, I'm guessing the front end was lowered also. I would guess that the forks should be clamped in place so that only the removable cap is visible, but I can't find anyplace to confirm that. Opinions?

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!
Fork Position In Triple T's?

Position in the triple clamps is usually a matter of personal preference, given that it changes ride height, with a bit of performance/ handling concern as it slightly adjusts the rake angle of the forks. I leave about 1mm gap between the bottom of the cap and the top of the clamp. Use calipers or another fine, accurate measuring tool and make sure they're equal.
