XS650 Revamp, Take 4 or 5.

Did some swapping around last night. Swapped on the Girder for the stock telescopic front end. I think the girder is a +10 but am unsure. It didn't make the XS sit as high in the nose as I thought it would. Has a little 60's-70's stance to it but it isn't too bad. Think I will leave it like it is for a while and get the front brake mounts figured out and then decide if I want to rake it or not. What do you guys think?

Well after checking things last night, I found that the girder is set in the + rake position but on the XS only gives it about +5. I did the math and drew it out on the computer this morning and it has -.5" trail. So it looks like I will be raking the neck soon. Looks like I need to add about 8-9 degrees of rake in the neck to bring things into a good trail number.
