could i easily change my 01 z1 to be 4 inches? would this cause anyproblems?
its on a gimp so i feel that 4 inches would ride better. also would it make the fork any sitffer having more stanction in the lowers?
need shorter main springs, and longer top out springs

I have the Z-1 Wedge off my 4x4, and it's like 4- 4.5 In I belive...should be possible, yes, it will stiffen up a bit fore-aft and lateraly as there'll be more overlap and less machanical advantage over the legs...

if i got the 4 inch springs it would work? my stanctions wouldn't be that long?
the fork definatly is flexy but untill i get somthing better or brake it i gotta deal with it
