Front Fork Measurements

[audiododd]

I was looking into an issue where my bars don't look straight (maybe they are bent, maybe something else), and I decided to see if the fork tubes were at different heights in the clamps.  I measured it out and they were within a hair's bredth (about 0.003" to be specific) of each other.  Just out of curiosity, I looked in my service manual for how "deep" they should be and was surprised to see that they should be flush with the top of the triple clamp   

I have a Haynes manual, and was wondering if anybody has a factory service manual that can verify this for me?  The forks were like this when I bought it used and it doesn't look like any of the springs/shocks have ever been replaced.

I still haven't figured out the un-straight handlebar thing, but I'm going away for my anniversary and don't think the misses would appreciate me out there fiddling with the bike before we leave.
