[QUOTE="FJRpilot1977, post: 1444935, member: 97866"] I talked to Dan @ Traxxion. They have a rebuild kit for front, AK20, for $1,500) and Penske 8983 for the rear $1,100. First of all, ouch! I didn’t expect it to be free, but before I bite the bullet, I need to research a little. Traxxion’s stuff does not adjust electronically, of course, and when I asked if there is a bypass for the ES system to prevent warning lights, I didn't get a response (yet). I wish for a solution that adjusts electronically, as that is why I purchased the ES, but it is what it is.. I did not do enough research before I purchased apparently. I should have bought the A-model, but the cornering lights are nice. I do have one question for you. When I am riding 1-up, I set preload for 2-up, or 2-up with cargo. I love the balance of handling and comfort. I have not owned a bike that soaks up the bumps like this one does and lets me take hard turns at the same time. With the Penske on your ’09, did you lose any of the cushiness for handling? I don’t want to change the 1-up pleasure drastically. Thanks for any input you can give on that! [/QUOTE]
