The fork tubes are reinstalled exactly as they came from the factory. I also believe I shared with you the BeemerShop did add 3 mm of preload discs to my rear shock to help with the sag I experienced with the old shock on the setting of 1 helmet and luggage. That 3 mm likely resulted in some increased lean angle.

Hard to say.
Never figured out why we can't buy the Auz Mud Guard in the US.
