    Doesn't change the Handlebars at all. Moving the forks up in the triple clamps changes the wheelbase slightly and in doing so changes the trail of the bike.

    Which makes it turn a little quicker...

    Thanks! I should have paid more attention in autoshop in high school, but when I heard someone got there teeth knocked out and their grapes wracked up on the tire changing machine, I transferred to wood shop to build some sweet speaker boxes for my Pinto wagon.

    No let's not start nasty rumors of Pinto ownership!!!

    For the record, I have never owned a Pinto. ( a pea soup green 68 Toyota Corona 4 door sedan maybe but never a Pinto). :lol:

    Pinto

    by Jim » Mon Jan 08, 2007 4:34 pm

    My daughters getting ready to drive. I am throwing out war stories about the 72 Pinto Wagon because she wants a new car. Ungrateful! I loved that thing.

    Lifted in the back.
    Custom tires and wheels only on the back.
    Pep Boys sway bar.
    Under dash 8-track- pumping out Ted Nugent.
    KLOS Whoo-ya decals.

    Joe Dirt would be proud.

    You can always tell her what my Mom used to tell me:
    "Spit in one hand and wish in the other and see which one fills up first" ... I have since heard other versions of this :shock:

    I've heard that the KN is not a good filter for the CRF or CRFX. Rumor I heard was that it didn't seal well and ended up sucking dirt!

    But I don't own it. I just play one on TV
