I need help from someone who has a standard height F650 FS twin. I have measured the folks on my Lowered F650 GS Twin and from absolute top to absolute bottom them measure 35 1/8 inches. Please measure your standard height bike and let me know what the length is of your forks. My dealer says that BMW only lowered the back suspension to obtain the lowered stance of the bike and I contend that because of handling ie change in rake this is not likely.

Thank you for measuring and posting the answer here

I would bet they are the same, difference will be the shocks. That is the case with the 1200GS.

apparently they front end is the the same and they only lowered the back. I find this very interesting as the changed rake angle will affect cornering ability.
