My 14R came w 24.5° rake and cups that can each be installed in 2 different positions. The open spot was towards left side of bike top n bottom. Can they be installed in different positions and what would that do to the geometry?

Thx, Don

Hey Larry sup man so yeah different cups available from the factory and throws the geometry all off. If your running the billet top/bottom triple clamps (CnC Racing or IMA) you can achieve same change with offset.

I dont know why CNC racing designed theirs the way they did. From my understanding you can go either +4 or -4. Nothing in between.
 
DucatiModified?

They said I was too OEM

Or too NEW

Something like that : )

Oh wait yeah, Kevin is prolly right, too retarded...

Still don’t know which cups to order : )
 
I am not gonna order them until I fully understand how it all works

I got the adjustable trees but don’t know for instance how the handling would differ with the 14R center drilled pucks and the +4mm bushing vs. the 2015up offset pucks (5 to the front) and a -1mm bushing

Forks would end up in the same location either way so I think the trail and rake would be the same with either of THOSE set ups but the offset would be different. I have no idea how the two would handle differently tho

Until a few minutes ago I thought ‘rake’ was machined into the frame : )
