That was another thing i was wondering about, the 190 is bigger so you need to raise the front to compensate but we already run the forks flush.
Did you use the fork cap extenders? or just lower the rear?

Milling the bottom of the top clamp approx. 17mm @ the steering head junction is common practice to gain more ride height.

Hey Jr. which extenders did you use and how did you like the switch from 180 to 190? And did you raise the rear at all?

Gotcha, thanks for the feedback. I definitely don't NEED the 190, but I was curious if that and the geometry changes slowed turn-in significantly. I wonder if you started running faster because you have more confidence in the 190 or you're just getting better overall?

turn in actually should have gotten quicker since you are reducing trail by lifting the rear end - you drop the fork in the tripples to offset that (and gain stability by dialing more tail back into the bike).
