I replaced the forks and triple tree on my cb 750 F 1980. when I have been riding lately I notice I have very little front end feel, and just an overall awkward feel on the bike. I maxed the air in the forks up to 16psi, and it made it a little better, but going into a turn something just feels odd
My question is since I replaced the forks I have no idea on where to place the frame at on the forks? is there a formula for me to determine how much I can lower the frame on the forks? Currently the frame is all the way at the top of the forks (excluding the thickness of the clip ons maybe an inch and half)
the pic is with the bike on the lift in the garage, so the forks are compressed a good bit by the tie downs
