[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 1324371, member: 277"] I got off my Gen I with modified front suspension and almost immediately got on an ES for a ride. Right away it was apparent that the ES was as good as or better than the RSU Gen I with lots of $$$ installed in the forks, even in just plain, general riding. The USD forks also offer more length in the stanchions for longer bushings and with the shorter sliders you get less flex keeping the front wheel better located. Plus there is a tiny bit less unsprung weight. I doubt that I would ever ride hard enough on the street for the USD forks to make much of a difference in speed, but everyplace on the street the USD forks feel better. I was after the ES, it came with the USD forks. On January 1, 2016 I don't know if I would have paid a penny for the USD forks. By February 29, 2016 I was very happy that the ES came with USD forks :) [/QUOTE]
