860 gt Moving forks up 5mm in Triple Clamps??

[Tinkerbell]

Hi all,
I think I read from Steve to move the forks up by 5mm in the triple clamps...For the novice, what would be the expected effect of such a change?
I am going to replace head brgs and that would be the time to do this.
Thanks,
Kara

I can't believe that 5mm of movement is going to have any noticeable impact at all.

I would be surprised if You notice anything, except Your exhaust grounding faster (because the weight gets more front-biased and the drop of about 2.5 mm in the middle of the bike).
I would be surprised if You notice THAT
So, go ahead, it won't hurt and at last You can have the (non)experience for Yourself, instead of relying on subjective sensations of fellow-Ducatisti.

have fun
