Re: [ST] Caster and Trail

["Rod Brown" <rodneybrown@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bryce,
In my shop manual the wheelbase is the same, maybe a misprint, but THAT IS
MY QUESTION, what is causing the change in Rake(caster)/Trail????   The part
numbers I have for the fork components are the same.  Is it the frame?  Is
it the triple clamp?  Is it the difference between SSSA and the regular
swing arm?

What spawn's this is that Triumph America says that the specs on an 04 SSSA
RS are exactly the same as the 02/03 RS.
Although I have just a very few miles on the 04 RS it feels different than
my 02 ST and all kind of guys say that an 04 RS is an ST in RS clothing.
Just looking for the facts ma'am, if you know what I mean.
Thanks
Rod
