Same here

SE heavy for me. Not that much stiffer and the bike handles better.

Old thread but I just switched to Maxima 15w and think everyone with a touring bike should change if you want less brake dive, more road feel and
more controlled cornering. If you want boat like ride and softness then stay where it's at now.
