My wife and I did an exploratory run out to a local camp area for lunch. Never been out here before. Even though it is very close. Anyways, enjoy the ride.

Lovely day out for you….. been right past there a few times on Cape Otway road. Thanks Lee. Another of our seasonal, god awful corrugated roads. Ilya: can we please have some more susp. travel. OR has anyone played with alternate long travel shocks. Even the HCS struggle. |

Longer travel suspension brings a whole bunch of negative issues with it. Ask me about it when I have a red in hand at Healseville….🤣

Up the preload or increase compression damping etc. Might need a little help there. Mine are still running standard setup from HCS. |

I have decreased the pre-load on my HCS.

I have decreased the pre-load on my HCS. Checking how much travel is being used. Was your adjustment for solo use, loaded or 2up+loaded. Where did you go with damping, compression and rebound?? |

Solo but with SC loaded for extended camping travel. (carrying 45 litres of fuel for 2 of us on the Birdsville Track) It was 18 months ago on the OCR trip to the Gulf on the rough Qld. Roads and I have forgotten where I ended up with settings so I will have to do a click count later today. I have left it alone since and find it fine with passenger and solo/empty. Definitely can go faster with different settings but I am slowing down a bit and enjoying a tiny bit more comfort……..also have done enough km’s on Urals to be able to ride around any setup. 😜 The change to HCS shocks was all about comfort after a few years of comparing with my Africa Twin outfit. |

Thanks Lee. Appreciatte a click count. If you can also measure unloaded coil length, that would be a big help.
Thanks.
