I just received my Wilber's Racing suspension today. Since it isn't getting out of the single digits here lately, I'll try to get it to the dealership for an install & give a report later.

All components & build quality look excellent. Can't wait to try it out.

Pic attached.

I put some progressive springs in my forks, company who made them is Works in CA. What a difference, no mushy dive anymore. I will be interested in how your rear shock feels as I will be doing that change next.

Where do you plan on mounting the pre-load adjuster and the remote reservoir?

It is getting installed tomorrow (tuesday) & I will take pictures & post after that. The remote reservoir gets mounted on the left side to the subframe (round tube) above riders heel guard & chain guard. The preload aduster is to be mounted via included bracked to the passenger footpeg bracket. This may be difficult since the photos/instructions included show it installed with out the hard luggage supports installed. The hard bag bracket attached to the passenger peg may mean it has to be relocated. The mechanic installing it is pretty resourcefull, so hopefully all will be ok. I'll keep you posted.

keo,
I used the Hyperpro spring set. The shock spring seemed too long - it went on with 3/4" of preload and compressed the softer wound coils immediately. The ride was a bit harsh. The fork springs seemed too soft, and required a lot of preload to get the sag correct. As a set, they aren't balanced. Overall they were better than the sacked springs, but IMHO, not something I could recomend.

Thanks for the warning Ventur4th !!!

Here are the photos of the Wilbers shock installed. Its been all snow & ice here so haven't been able to ride it.

bottom of shock - red ring is the rebound adjustment

And yes, the hard bags do still fit, even with the romote preload.

I fitted the pre load adjuster for the Ohlins to the rear foot peg, seems to work well:

Have now fitted K-Tech 20mm Compression and Rebound valve kit and Springs to the forks to give a much firmer feel , works very well and as a by product has stopped the problem with the headlights bouncing.
