[QUOTE="Aasland, post: 1142557, member: 14773"] Typically what you get with the remote reservoir is increased fluid capacity which means cooler fluid temps which means more consistent damping and you might notice a difference with a lot of weight on crappy roads. You'll also get compression damping adjustment. And bling; the reservoir is easier to see ;-) These are all incremental upgrades from the more significant improvements of the correct spring rate, vastly improved rebound, and less stiction. Likewise, the incremental cost of have the remote reservoir is usually pretty low (maybe 20% more than a more basic shock, if one is available). At least that has been my experience on FJR+SV w/ Ohlins+RR, and VFR w/Penske-RR. In all cases the Ohlins and Penske, with or without RR, are far better than the original (even when new). [/QUOTE]
