Looking for a S4Rt or other SSSA monster to give me a measurement from the centerline of the axle, to the bottom triple please.  I didn't measure mine before I took it all apart....now I've got different forks and I'm running into a slight problem (hopefully).

My 06 S2R 800 is 17 and 7/16 inches from axle centerline to bottom of the bottom triple clamp, hope this helps!

Awesome :)  Thanks guys.  Apparently I overlooked the fact that the 1098 forks taper down from 53mm to something skinny inbetween the triples.  This has caused me to have the drop the triples down to 4 lines showing to get the proper 53/53 surface to clamp on. 

I just wanted to make sure I wasn't waaaay of.  At max front height, I'm showing dead on 18" with the bike sitting on stands.
