Message: [QUOTE="tristan68, post: 81172, member: 22257"] is there an optimal fork angle for all around conditions, reason i ask is, my friend who has the same bike as i do, but he is shorter, so he took the bike to the local suspension guru here De Wayne Jones, to lower the ride of his cr125. he shaved the seat, and lowered the forks and rear susp. the front fork is way lowered, the tops of the forks are well through the top triple clamp. he adjusted the rear to match. did all the shock settings sag etc. after all that i took the bike out to try it out. the bike turns so well, i'm guessing thats beause the forks are shortened creating a shorter wheel base. but i overheard de wayne jones say angle is important too. i'm probably just gonna get my suspension set up by him too, but i'm just wondering if there are certain parameters for fork angle.
