Thanks Dan.  Unfortunately, you're right on the '05's.  The pre-'05's
use the same eccentric chain adjuster as the T-3's.  With that set-up
you can raise the forks and invert the adjuster and achieve ~1-5/8"
lowering.  I ran my Trophy this way for a while and it completely
transformed the bike.  Unfortunately, it also bottomed out the lowers.
