Your combined weight and mine are pretty close. Guess I will dial it back to zero and see what happens. I'm starting to wonder if the spring they put on them is a little too stiff, or if it could be in the cartridge itself. Maybe a combination of the two? They did greatly improve the ride and handling of my bike but I would like to get them a bit smoother in the ride if possible.

HD044’s are 8 weeks out so it’ll be awhile before I test those out. I have the 14” Pro Actions dialed in, they’re gonna be hard to beat for our weight package, but I wanna try a seperated shock as we ride a lot. I was hoping to have the Ohlins for Bikers, Blues, and BBQ in Fayetteville later this month

Yeah, I’m tempted to just put in the GP’s that you have. Dealer is doing the work for free as I’m having the Front rotors warrantied and replaced with the Ness wave rotors.

they installed the legends, so they are gonna pull them and set them to zero at no charge since I think they’re too firm. Also, My rotors suck on my 17, so we are replacing them with the Arlen Ness wave rotors at the same time we pull the cartridges. Im paying for pads and some of the labor on that part
