Re: [ST] Caster and Trail

[Bryce <bster13@xxxxxxxxx>]

To the best of my knowledge the RS has a shorter
swingarm and the forks have a steeper steering head
angle than the ST.  Also the slightly taller shock of
the RS serves to change the geometry slightly also.

The RS is definitely not an ST with less fairings.  As
for your RS with a SSSA that may be a different story
but I have no experience with that bike.  If all other
things constant it should be somewhere in the middle
of the stock RS and stock ST....it should have the
steering head angle of the RS (24.5), and weigh
slightly more than a stock RS, less than a stock ST,
and the wheelbase of the ST.
