Just curious as to how much suspension sag I have now with accessories and age on my springs. I know Honda claims 12.4 factory clearance but is that front and rear or does the machine have a rake and they are different measurements? Mine is measuring 12 in the rear and 11.75 in the front. I was contemplating adjusting the preload on my Fox shocks but didnt know if I should make it 12.4 front and rear or leave a rake in it. It's got 28 inch tires but I've got a 1/2 inch thick skid plate so they kind of cancel each other out somewhat...

I believe the stock ride height is 10.5" front and 10" rear for the 1000-5. If thats correct your doing really good.
