[QUOTE="Huck Fonda, post: 322982, member: 9687"] Great question. The shim stacks in use can react differently to different rates of oil flow, so in a sense they are progressive, but not infinitely. To create an infinitey variable resistance to fluid flow would probaly take a combination of total flow volume control along with variable fluid viscosity. Some cars are using electro-magnetic fluids in suspension now (sorry, can't name brands right now), but that would add serious $$$ to our scooters, and not sure if the suspension action on bikes is similar enough to that of cars for the technology to be applicable. Hmmm...the CVT of suspension...another glass of wine and I'll sleep on it. [/QUOTE]
