How much can the forks be raised in the triple clamps without the front tire bottoming on the fender. We have real tight trails here and I would like quicker steering. Its an 01 KDX 220.
Thanks

I believe you can raise them up to about 1/2" without problems with the fender. Caution, this does affect high speed stability. Try raising them about 1/4" first. I suggest you only raise them with the XR spring modification of the forks, because you will really be "low" in the front end.
