I have the bike sitting where I want, but to do so, the fork tubes are pushed through the triple trees by about 8 inches (I've not actually measured). I know people machine forks, but I'm not sure where to start. Maybe I just replace them with new shorter forks that fit these trees. Any advice, links, etc

I suspect that on measuring, the actual amount that the fork tubes are pushed through the triple trees, will be much less than eight inches.
