Fork travel

I noticed I have about a foot of travel for the front fork. I bought and installed some "lowers" for my Mephis Shades and installed them on my front forks. I put them down where the bottom is about 3" from the top, leaving about 8" of travel.

Anyone know how much "max" travel the front fork requires? I don't want it bumping into the lower shade clamps.

Thanks!

If they travel far enough to hit the clamps ........... You screwed that duck pretty hard and the damage is or woulda been done anyway. The forks travel according to the weight / impact put on them. Normal riding might see 2-3 inches of travel. If you get to 8 inches you hit the curb really hard and should probably park the bike and call for a DD

Sounds like the voice of experience talking.

DD???

Designated driver, cause obviously you spent a little too much time bellied up to the bar Actually I vave only felt my fromnts bottom out once and I am pretty sure I was riding like it's not meant to be ridden and found a really deep pothole screaming through the country.
