 **Ride Report**: \\ I sent an email to XLXR entitled "​OMG!!!"​ which pretty much sums up the world of difference these shocks make from the stock shock. He replied "Can I say I told you so...."​ And yes, he did tell me so, and yes, he was dead right. As a reminder I'm 5'​3"​ in my boots and 140lbs. I've been for a couple of rides since installing and have been adjusting a bit as I go. At the moment I'm 2 clicks from none on the preload to get the rider sag; 6 clicks from hard on rebound and 3 clicks from hard on compression. That was nicely suited to the twisty mountain run I did this morning. Yesterday I was three clicks softer on both for a freeway run and the bridge joins were hardly noticeable. No problems at speed. And the kickstand didn't scrape anything, not even the speed bump. **Ride Report**: \\ I sent an email to XLXR entitled "​OMG!!!"​ which pretty much sums up the world of difference these shocks make from the stock shock.
