How do you know it´s adjusted for 400mm ac fork? I thought you didn´t care.

What is your serial number? And yes, these were intended for suspension forks, but of course you can do what you like.

This is very nice, I like it alot

Yes it does look like it was made for a taller set of forks I.e. suspension forks. But I like how it looks with rigids!
