RE: Has anyone raised the fork tubes in the triple clamps to speed up steering? - 2

I would like to see the rear suspension link and the entire bike from the side....

Whose got pics???

Does this change the way you sit and put any more weight on your wrists?

Not that you'd notice. You're only talking 5 or 6mm.

I've just raised the fork tubes in the triple clamps by 12 mm on my R1200RS. I did it for two reasons. Firstly to get me more flat footed at a stop and secondly to quicken up the steering (turn in). The difference is so subtle that I don't really notice much, although I'm sure it's there. No problem with ground clearance so far, although I have previously scraped the main stand a few times. I'm sticking with the change for now. No noticeable added pressure on the wrists either.

On the stock 1250RS, are the fork tubes flush with the upper triple clamp or are they proud by ~ 3/4" or 2 cm?

Nevermind- they are proud in the triples- I dropped my bike off for 6K service and there happened to be 4 other 1250RS's there to compare.

Raised mine about 12mm on my 2018 R1200RS and feel it’s a definite improvement. Sharper steering and bike actually feels a little smaller with the nose down.
