hi,
a shorter paralever-arm does shift weight to the front.
in a german BMW mag, they tested the effect on a GS.
replacing the standard arm with a 15mm shorter one, shifted 3,5 kg of weight to the front wheel. handling was slightly improved, although the higher front load compensates the handling improvement. the downfall of the mod was, that in fast corners, there was a noticeable loss of grip at the rear end.
I see one more limitation on the S. the S is prone to produce stoppies. shifting more weight to the front will further more increase that tendancy for stoppies.
bye
