There is 20mm from top of triple tree to the join on the stanchion, if that makes sense
Yours has been lowered 35mm at the rear and 20mm at the front, although because of the rake of the forks, 20mm of stanchion pulled through the yoke actually means slightly less at the axle.

You had it once on a thread but i can't find it. I've ordered some lowering links as well.
The stock links are 125mm hole centres.

The linkage ratio is 1:3.47, so an increase of linkage plate length of 10mm equates to a lowering of ~35mm at the axle. Shortening the linkage plates does the reverse and raises the axle by ~35mm.
