Muzzy front fork lowering blocks
Has anyone used Muzzy's front lowering blocks. Currently I have my 2010 ZX14 lowered one inch in front with the forks slid through the triple trees. Last night at the track after an unexpected wheelie and hard landing I noticed the forks had compressed enough to allow the fender to contact the upper fairing causing a small paint chip in the fender.
My question about the lowering blocks: If the forks are set to stock height in the triple trees, and the 1.25 inch lowering blocks are installed, will the forks have enough travel for the fender to contact the fairing? And on the other side of things, will the forks then still extend to stock length or will they stop extending at the "lowered" length?
Thanks for any help.
Nick

No it lowers them internally, so it shortens the travel of the fork.
