Initial impressions from the guy who sold his:


*When I sat on the bike it felt much stiffer than stock. I left the adjustment on the softest setting and found the ride to be firm but not jarring. When I test-rode it I took a turn onto my street which has a bit of a dip in the middle of the turn. Before, I could feel the shock compress a lot, then unload, somewhat upsetting the bike, or at least upsetting me. I honestly didn't even notice the dip anymore with the new shock.
