[QUOTE="Leghorn, post: 64857, member: 1618"] You're right about the squat, skyway. It felt abnormally soft, sort of like you might expect a busted suspension to feel, this from just sitting on the bike. On the gas, I can't imagine how it would have handled, but I never took it out -- the weather here hasn't been cooperative. I don't know beans about spring technology, at least in terms of how to calculate the correct spring. Your suggestions are helpful. I want the ride to be plush, but firm and controlled at the same time. Ideally, I would typically ride solo with the preload at or almost at full soft. Then I would have plenty of preload left for luggage, pillion, track, twisties, etc. I have all the compression/rebound/ride height options, but as you know, it all starts with the spring. I'm going to have to rely on you, sportryder, Klaus and the other experts for that. [/QUOTE]
