Stock Front Height?

[cthor]

Hey guys, while in the process of putting my bike back together, the marks that I made for the stock height on the front forks seem to disapear. I blame this cold MN weather. I've been trying to search for the info but nothing is really clear on what the stock height is. Can someone tell me what it is? or to make things easier how what is the stock height from the top of the forks to the top of the steering rack?

I have my front fork tubes (not the cap on top, the tube) flush with the triple tree.

Some photos with a good example:

Thanks. Youre prob a pretty tall guy? I guess I might just play around with it. You have any idea what the stock height is so I know I'm not getting too low? I'm 5'7"

I think doing it this way is stock.

Most of the bikes I have ever had or looked closly at have the top of the tubes flush with the top of the tree.
Setting the tubes higher than that lessens the rake a bit and can quicken turn in when cornering. To much can make the bike twitchy.
Experement some to find what works for you.
