OK i did a search and found various posting that confirm that after you put on a Jamie F4i modified shock it raises the rear a bit. However my SH seems to have come up about 1inch. This raises two questions for the Forum.

My set-up thus far
re-sprung front forks to support my bucket ***.
VFR clipons sitting right beolw fork cir-clip.
Sargent seat (changes my forward lean )
F4i mod shock

1. will the rise in the rear create any handling issues IE; the potetial for tank slap, weight distro.....

2. Is there now a need to adjust my forks in the triples

Also since the rear shock upgrade the front brake is way more responsive (not a bad thing) but the nose dives quite a bit more than before.

You should have no handling issues though you have moved weight forward which is the reason for the last 2 comments you made.

Only make one suspension change at a time, then ride the bike and get a good handle on what it is really doing before you make any other changes.

That is because you now have more weight on the front wheel. You need to reset the sag (or set it if you haven't done so before) front and rear and then start taking notes and testing.....
