999 Shock Spring for S2R800

[stopintime]

That sounds like a sweet deal to me

I'm a little surprised by the 700 lbs spring though.
It's quite stiff for your weight.... current and future.

Yes.

I'd say ~600 lb/in spring.

i expressed my desire for a little stiff over a little soft, as I sometimes ride with around 20lbs of stuffed-tailbag. think i should request the 600lb if i go that route?

[Speeddog]

I'd only fit a 700 lb/in spring if you weighed ~270.
So IMO a 700 spring is *way* beyond a little stiff for you.

You could go with a -39/110 Ohlins spring, that's 628 lb/in.

Keep in mind, different suspension tuners have different ideas about what is "right".

Yea, I figured there'd be some discrepancies between different folks. Now the folks at Traxxion REALLY have me thinking... they priced out a brand new Penske tuned for my application at $660... might just save up some cash and wait it out. Waiting for some pricing from the folks at BeemerShop on a Wilbers unit as well...

8975 Street Shock.  The Street Shock gives you spring preload, rebound and compression damping adjustments.  The shock has a nitrogen charge and floating piston to separate the oil and nitrogen so it is not an emulsion shock.  Much better performance than an emulsion shock.  We will set the shock up with the correct spring and baseline settings so it is ready to bolt on when delivered to you.  The 8975 retails for $695 and I can sale it to you for $660.

from everything i see it's new for 2012. a few sites have it for 629.

Corey, how does the 8900E compare to the 8975?
I was looking at one for the hoop style linkage M900. The 8900E only has rebound damping adjustment, correct?

Sorry man,
Haven't the slightest. I would say give the guys at Traxxion Dynamics â€" or any other Penske distributor for that matter â€" a call.
I have essentially zero knowledge for your bike...
