I didnt measure the suspension travel before I did the mod so I have no objective data for that but the front end was quite compliant then. I did post, with Big Eds help, a video at the time. At that time the bike had standard D single springs in each spring box.
These measurements are compression only using 3 tie wraps, one on the damper and one on each spring box so I cant measure rebound from static sag with me riding the bike.
The bike is comfortable to ride and the links rise at the rear appreciably under acceleration. Prior to the mod, it was not possible to compress the front end by pushing down on the bars with the brake applied but it is easy to do that now. You can see that there is more damper movement with the longer eyebolts and it is easy to pull the bars up when astride the bike whereas with the short eyes this was impossible.
