only bad when you get a good tankslapper at high speed. then you might need more than a little paint

Fair enough but, I am not concerned about a tank slapper just yet as I tend to keep within my limits on public roads and leave the speeding for the track.

fair enough, but it would suck if you hit a bump at like 40 and it started. just my own preference. would be better balanced if it was all lowered equally though

I've hit bumps faster than that and as far as I can tell it is balanced. The biggest issue I have is the suspension being on the softer side.

just the rear being soft? sag a lot when you sit on it or just feel like it wallows over the bumps? have you tried upping the clicker on the back?

Both the front and rear are on the soft side. Instead of fiddling around with it, pumping up the front and adjusting the rear preload I will get it to a shop and have them cater it to my needs exactly. Otherwise it ride pretty good and stable. I am sure if I kicked it up a bit it'd be twitchy and nimble with some stability thrown out.

not sure what they can do that you can't do yourself in about 10 minutes. the front is not adjustable other than the air pressure or a higher weight oil. the rear is just a matter of spring preload and the clicker. seriously, you are going to spend money on adjusting the rear shock and they will be ripping you off. hate to see you spend $$ that you don't have to!
