[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 101495, member: 456"] Just be careful with trying to use all the travel. It will depend upon what that means but as recently as yesterday the solution to a problem with travel on the JE steering heads has become clear. One of our members is just fitting his kit and is having trouble with the mudguard hitting the front exhaust pipe nut. This was a problem that John Emmanuel warned me about early on as he had that problem. What became clear yesterday is that if one tries to use more that about three inches of total movement then either the bottom link is too far down at the front and/or too far up on full compression with the collision between exhaust nut and the top link very near to the handlebars. I, only now, understand why John was having problems while almost no one else has had the same problem. John had a special front damper and my guess is that it allowed more travel than the AVO. The member with the problem is using a damper with lots of travel and no bump stop and my guess is that changing that will solve his problem. [/QUOTE]
