Does any body know roughly how much I need to raise my forks/ Shim the rear end on an '03 R6 when switching from the stock 120/60 front to a 120/70. I just purchased A set of Michelin Race H2's and want the quickest turn in possible.

The bike does have a steering damper and will primarily be used on the track so Im looking to get fairly agressive with rake/ trail.

If any one has done this any info for a baseline would be greatly apreciated, thanks.

I've got the Michelin S2 front and M2 rear. Tires are built the same as the H2's though! Just different compounds. I dropped 10mm in front and also went 6mm (1/4") rear. Bike handles excellent! doesn't do anything weird! Very stable and precise turnin! btw- the S's & M's wear extremely well with a lot better grip!
