because whats important is how they feel. This is like the best setup possible for the roads I like.
I don't believe that form and function must be mutually exclusive. I like to have both. And by learning about suspensions and paying attention to the mountains of good info here on IWSTI, I was able to get both when I spec'd out my suspension.

Yeah, the rear gaps are about the same. The front is lower due to the plates. They will drop the front another 10mm or so.

Yeah I wasn't being a jerk. Just roads suck ass so badly here, all you can care about is ride because its sure to be harsh.

IMO you have the best setup possible, i have it too. heh. I just thought it was funny I didn't really even think about the drop much, if anything i was concerned it'd be too low.

personally i've run stock, then ohlins/pinks, then zero 2r, then ohlins/blacks

ohlins/black FTW
