My Ohlins experience.

I put the #3-#3 on my bike , I cannot describe the improvement in words because it is that much better , Howard goes above on customer service too , I will never ride with any other shock , this is the best performance upgrade I have made , you can lower the #3-#3 from 13" to 12 3/4" as was mentioned

I think before next riding season I am going to have to contact Howard. I have the Progressive HD440 in 13" length and just not happy. They just are not as good as I expected, acutally, I am very dissapointed in the progressives. There is no middle ground with that shock, it either bottoms out on sharp bumps or tops out because of the lack of rebound dampening.
Cornering clearance is important to me so I do not want to do the 940 because they will lower the bike, even though you get the benefit of 13 inches of travel.

The difference between 13" and 12 3/4" is 1/4". That's just simple math. That 1/4" is at the rear wheel. So the midle of the bike is only going to lower 1/2 of that 1/4". That's 1/8". So you must have been only 1/8" away from flat footing.

Your butt is a lot closer to the rear axle than the front axle. Your going to get close to the whole 1/4" at your butt. When I lowered my bike 1", I got a lot more than 1/2" (your argument) lowered @ the seat.
