Next project, front Brembo's
Looks like one of my rears might be leaking also, but aren't they warranted for life? And it's not corners where I'm getting too much dive, it's slow speed **** with unpredictable cagers. Interesting about the +2 dampers, I hadn't thought of that, but it could be my issue. We'll see as we get closer to winter if my desire to spend $900 on cartridges wanes.
I've heard legend customer service and warranty stuff is a nightmare if they even do it. Again not first hand information just what I've read in comments online.

Yeah. That's basically my dilemma now with everything. All the $500 and less stuff has been long knocked out. I'm definitely in the $1000+ range for anything left to do or change.

I've been considering a Spluthe as well!

If it helps muddy the waters a bit, GP suspension does offer a +2 cartridge kit. They have gone up in price since I did mine but it is a complete kit including springs. At least it was. With Ohlins you still need to purchase springs. That is probably another 100-150 added to the price. In the end they are both close in price. The GP suspension also gives you 3 color options for the preload adjuster.
For the rear I chose Ohlins over Ktech and Penske because the bike was meant to be something I could have fun with solo and with the wife on the back. Ohlins won because of the hydraulic preload adjuster.

You must be even more fun. I did the correction for anyone who may search this thread and not know of Sputhe.
I knew there was going to be someone like you.
