[QUOTE="escapefjrtist, post: 1289273, member: 238"] @MajB, If you are on land when the spring PNW Tech Day comes around, try and make the trip south. It'll be time well spent! Regarding suspension, you'll get as many different answers for that as you will for seats, windshields... pick the topic. My $.02, if you've been happy with stock suspenders for 100k kms, then perform a full rebuild on the forks [bushings, seals, fluid] and add a set of aftermarket springs suitable for your weight. With the load you're packing you will benefit installing a aftermarket shock [Penske 8975] with the proper spring for you. For the Penske, you'll spend double what a OE GEN III will cost but it will be the last one you'll buy. Good luck! --G [/QUOTE]
