R3R FRAME CHANGES

Don't you just love it when Mr @Speedy talks sexy.
 
@Landstar I too have a 30" inseam, and I can relate I tell ya.

And I have the upper body strength of a girl metaphorically speaking -- when I was little and the one year my father put me in little league baseball, at my time at bat, I could hit, and the other team quickly learned they could all come in, because the ball wasn't going to go far.

I have the custom seat (yes lowered), and while I just put on a new set of spec sized Avon Cobras, my *next* tire change will be the smaller Michelin Commander II or Pilot (?) up front.
 
Sorry but I got a bit turned around reading this. So some questions.

Using Avon tires.

If I understand correctly the rear is being raised around an inch by different longer shocks.
That is static, the same spring rating? Will not the pre load effect the actual difference when riding as well as rider weight?

The front is being lowered by using a shorter tire. The tire is also narrower but has a more favorable profile than the stock size.

So more weight is being shifted to the front of the bike as well as rake change.

What effect will the more narrow front tire have on straight line braking?
