I think mine are at 19 or 20. I'm feeling pretty good where they are now. I like it firm but it is not obnoxiously firm. It's pretty good for me solo(200 lbs) and 2 up with wife is fine as well.

I think they are pretty close after ohlins last price increase. Check out motorcycle metal site. Howard has list prices showing. Forum discounts are generous so give him a call as well.

Excellent ultrawarrior, 226K on the bike and only 18 posts. Just the way it should be. I am jealous.

I just put on the JRI-B 13" two days ago.

Ultrawarrior indeed. Very impressive. I hope I'm still riding mine for another 200,00 miles. I hear they lose trade-in value after 300,000 though...

I'm assuming you put on the additional 7,000 miles since your previous post. Are you posting while riding?
Can't resist the jokes but that is really impressive mileage on a lifetime of bikes, let alone one bike.
Have you had to replace anything major over those miles?

The transmission changed out @ 25,000 and compensator changed out with SE compensator @ around 130,000 and @210,000 started hearing a noise like a chain slapping but no Dealership or Indys could figure out were the noise was coming from and the bike was still running great. The noise started getting louder and the bike still running great and under the service contract the Dealership changed out(under direction of a inspector) bearings in the transmission, cams, cam chains, pistons, cylinders, primary chain and tensioner and some other things and with all these changes they got the noise. There is no noticeable difference after all the changes with the way the bike runs.
