Oh, I almost completely forgot.  That is the spring setting for the rear shock on my 848 and you are more than welcome to try it and see what you think. I still owe you the favor of a return test ride.

i'm half tempted to get it and trade out the springs. esp if i do the swing arm, that would be the perfect time to get everything in and out.

DO IT ANNE!!!  You have no idea how much better that bike would handle...

You mean it's still available?  No one has jumped on it?  Strike while the iron is hot!

i can't believe it either, but it's not that TTX.  and there's a guy selling a swing arm for 300. all the money i'm saving for a 1911 is gonna go to parts.

DOH~

Money?  Save?  Silly girl...

Yep, the TTX is a lot sexier for sure and easier to adjust rebound because you don't have to get through that hole in the swingarm. That said the TTX lends itself to track use where you might be riding on different tracks all the time and want to have the easier adjustment access. For street riding once you get the DU515 dialed in where you want it you almost never have to mess with it again. That was my rationalization anyway. Theoretically that left me with more money for other mods but I'm still trying to figure out where that money is........

No, but she is getting $1,000.00 worth of new upper control arms for the SL this weekend. Thank God that's coming out of her pocket this time.
