Umm done like months ago...

Jimbo! Thanks for the excellent pictures! Stellar write up.
I'll link this to the shock list.

Well I know how you cold weather, warm beer drinkers can be...gotta keep you on your toes.

If it rains anymore here in VA, I'm just going to pretend it's Seattle...

Insult my beer drinking and there is going to be a fight!!

Anytime I miss one of these updates I'm happy for the heads up.
Basically I wanted to be sure L&L got props because he did a lot of work when he checked the R6 and the ZX14

OK I'm locking and cleaning this up...

No more arguing in here about who knows more about shocks and springs..
This is Jimbo's write up..

Thank goodness. I didn't have the time to do it last night.

Looks good Jim!

I know, I have been slacking off lately..
I feel it important to point out one of the parties was apologetic..

**UPDATE**

Tonight I upped the preload two from max. And set the low and high speed adjustments in 6 clicks. I rode two up, then rode alone. The confidence level is greatly increased with this shock over the stock one. I actually was able to get more lean angle than ever could previously without the rear walking out on me. It feels great. The only problem I seem to be encountering is now I need to do something better with the forks.

I will continue to update as I make changes.

Change out the forks too. Breeze recently did it with his bike

Had I not already bought the Ohlins from Cyber, I'd probably go this route.
