Sorry but that isn't the case
Sorry but that isn't correct at all, having a bike that fits correctly will give you a balanced position on the bike with equal weight front to rear, shorter bike will actually leave you with more weight on the hands just as a one that is too long would. Research...
I'm pretty sure the budget forks don't have the threaded inserts in the rear arch of the lowers, would be a cable tie or RRP velcro strap jobby unfortunately.
Well they should be thinking it, RS and Fox are notorious for poor factory assembly, pretty standard practice to strip down a new fork for a lot of people.
Crap assembly from the factory, will be clogged with grease, and probably not enough oil in lowers, pretty common with RS stuff, and my 170 Zeb was like this from new. I always strip and service a brand new fork myself before riding it so I know its how it should be internally.
