Thanks.
11 revolutions of each adjuster. The damping can be noodled with to taste. You will want it a bit firmer when you're carving, a little softer on the highway.

Thanks, Got them pretty well dialed in for solo. I didn't want to keep stopping and adjusting when on a trip.

Best thing to do is put your passenger on the back and re-measure your sag.

Sag is easy. Dampening make a large diff. I have backed off 21 turns from all the way in for a plush ride. I just was looking for about how many turns in on the dampener to compensate for passenger and large load.

I think I've got 13 or 14 total turns on my sweep valves.

I've got little over a grand in mine between the Intiminators up front and the Ohlins in the back. Worth every penny.

That's not bad. The ricor "things" look very simple in comparison to the progressive cartridges but the cartridges are getting really mixed reviews. I was planning on getting those but a little gun shy now. What does Howard suggest for the front?

He's working on an Ohlins cartridge insert system for baggers. It's not just a simple drop in kit. It looks like it will require a new top triple tree, so that you can have access to, and make adjustments to the cartridge system (pre-load and compression/rebound damping).

Waiting patiently...

I to will soon be an Ohlin's on my RG Classic. Howard is sending me some #2-2A's. I am looking forward to the test. I was also wondering about the fronts. How are them Intiminators working?
