Hi Lancer, nice reading your posts !
SavageBlues, I do not know why you should want to play with your front fork, but if it's handling you're after (you mention shortening the tubes) I would consider a cheaper operation first, which is moving the foot controls some 6 - 8 inches to the rear.
Once you've done that, you might want to consider DR tubes/trees too, which would allow to slide them up&down to stretch/shorten wheelbase to your pleasure, depending on the ride of the day.
