Yes it does and holding them up to the bike its definitely going to be taller in the front end guess I'll find out how much when my headset gets here just hope it doesn't look like a chopper

The stance was just about perfect with the stock forks...it would be a bummer if you can't duplicate it with the new forks. The arch under the crown race on the custom forks will probably have to be trimmed at least to the bottom of the steer tube to match the previous stance...and possibly into the steer tube as well. There is just a lot more fork under the crown race than the stock fork.

Maybe I should have went the more simple route and got a monarch fork really not sure if these will work if I move the drop outs it will make them a wider distance apart from each other

Here's a quick mock up bars will be lower when top of forks are cut to length do you think the fork rake will be an issue
