A long time ago I did a front end swap and I don't think I set the distance from the bottom of the stem / lower triple to the axle properly to maintain original monster turning characteristics (rake/trail). Can someone pretty please measure this so I can compare / reset it to original monster values? My monster has been a bit twitchy since the swap and I'd like to get it back to it's original steering characteristics.

Which Monster are we looking to set up?

The swap surely changed the sag numbers? That's much more important than a few mm of mounting difference.

In my hunt for a suitable geometry, the relation between front and rear has been high on my list - beaten maybe only by front/rear suspension harmony.

It's a Monster 800.

I never set sag as part of the swap (I know).

I'd like to see how far the fork tops are pushed through the triples. A "bit twitchy" may mean needing 10mm more front ride height as a starting point. Setting sag first as mentioned is important.

'06 S2R800 spec from the shop manual is 199mm of fork leg out the top of the lower triple
