Thanks MOT. Everything I read says to keep 'em flush. I am so used to running sagged out front springs, that it feels like a chopper now with the stiffer (0.90KG) front springs. I will continue* working with the spacer length to get the correct sag with preload adjusters all the way out. I just needed to know if it's OK to drop the clamps/raise the forks on the '96 & what results other '96 model owners have realized doing this.

*Once my Speigler clutch line arrives on Monday...no testing 'til I have a clutch again.
