I have finally figured this out!

It just takes me a while longer than most.

These are Extensions, as in, the cap is longer. Once installed, you slide the fork tubes further through the triple tree, in effect raising the triple tree an 1", 2" or however long extension you ordered.

This would thus change the geometer with a stock setup and probably compromise handling, slower turn-ins, not as sporty as before. To counter this you would need the larger diameter rear tire which would take it back to a stock distribution of weight if the rear if the rear were raised proportionately. The same thing, depending on track conditions, is done on dirt bikes when racing.   If you are doing woods racing with many sharp turns you lower the triple tree for quicker response.

How much this would affect the Magna, don't know.

I wrote Bill 'Billski' and told him that people on MOOT may be interested in the MOOT logo on the caps. Here is my letter and his response. Maybe you  or someone on here can send him something so he could fab up if there is enough interest? His email is Billski182@comporium.net


Bill,

We really appreciate you coming through with the order and the free shipping :) Thank you. I would like the engraved set if possible. If not, plain is just fine. Over on the Magna Owners of Texas site, George tried to gather more people, but a lot of them wanted to have the caps engraved with their forum logo' MOOT' or something of the sort. I figured this may drum up some more business for you if you would be willing to do that if you could. Thanks again and looking forward to hearing from you.

I'd have to get a look at their logo but that might be something we could do.

Dont get me wrong they look scwheet!  I personally would want one that had MOOT inset in the outline of the Texas boundary lines.  Since for me it would be ONLY a "Sparkle" addition. 
WONDER if he would do a special run for 10 or 15 units with MOOT on it??????????

Doesnt have to be the logo, as that would be difficult to reproduce in this situation.  Simply the Texas state border with the text MOOT across it.
