I finally had the chance to actually install this hunk of billet on my XC machine with a stock tank setup. It hits pretty bad with the stock tank so I spent a few hours with the heat gun today modding the stock tank so it would have enough clearance. WOW that plastic is some VERY tough stuff. It took a while but now everything clears with no rubbing.
I will hopefully get a ride in over the next few days and put it through its paces and report my findings. In pushing on the grab bar, it has a MUCH smoother progression than the stocker, or even my PEP. The Ohlins is soft at the initial part of the travel then gets very hard as you get into the last bit of travel with the PDS setup. I think this will be the perfect ticket for the nasty stuff without getting the jarring kick that can sometimes happen with the Ohlins due to its valving and heavy spring rate.
I will snap some pics tomorrow...time to head out with the wife for some drinks, and a comedy show.
