Did you go aftermarket swingarm? Im maxed at 14" Ohlins in the back on my 16 SG. Been looking at an aftermarket swingarm as an option as it looks like theres more clearance at the front section of some. 14" is the longest I could run before swingarm to oil pan interference.

Always a work in progress, no down season here in sunny SoCal so it’s a continuous project. 2015 SGS with some spice.

Nice little rip up to Big Bear today with a solid group. Us 3 were ahead of the pack...lol. Got these American Elites broken in and really liking them. Need to swap to the Fox fork springs and heavier oil soon - the Progressives are too soft for my liking.

FYI I put Suspension Technologies cartridges in mine and really like them. Very friendly people, good customer service as well. I think they have a +2 as well. But definitely nothing wrong with Fox. And that lean...haha

Went to lunch with a buddy and took the long way home. A 30 mile ride home turned into almost 100.
