Well I am back from my trip. Weather turned a little where I was heading so I took a different route and came home a few days early. Total miles 5492 in 10 days. Shocks worked great. I think I may add one more spacer to the preload on the front forks. Overall everything worked great. Money on the rear shocks was well spent. Not sure if we could have put that many miles on with the stock shocks!

Just wondering if you know the Max loaded weight of your bike and if you checked before you bought the bike?
+1 on that!
