Just tried to install a new handlebar on my 2000 M900Sie only to discover that there is not enough clearnace from the fork adjusters.  My question is: what is the stock height for the forks in the triple clamp on this bike?  Should they be flush with the top clamp or raised above it and, if so, by how much?

Thanks!

Did anyone get an answer for this? I was wondering how high I can have the top of the triple clamp.

Mine are about 13 mm above the triple

would 20mm be too much? I have some front end wobble at 80ish. i am trying to find the problem. I also want to raise the rear a bit so what advice do you all have for me?

I raised the back about 3 cm (with those ebay things) and no speedwobles
