Steve,
I gave the revalved for plus two Ohlins a full weekend Glamis torture test and you nailed the valving perfect! They ride really good in the chop and stiffen up enough deep in the travel to where I could not bottom them no matter what I did so I am more than happy with them!
Great job!

Cool glad you like them. Did you try those Works?

I am probably spoiled from riding ohlins so much and who knows what those works were valved for... they have a cushy ride but bottom fairly easily.
I need to sell that R to someone light! If I keep it I have a set of ohlins with modified spacers to fit that I could send you for the same treatment.

Thats too bad about the Works.Nothing I could do for valving those since they use ball and spring rather than shims but I did use the heavy oil.I also moved the crossovers around to shorten the gap on the middle spring.Maybe adding more crossover or more preload would help?
