Ok.  More than likely I will go with the 8.0 springs, I will verify with an Ohlins shop before buy the springs.  That should get me to a point where I can at least ride to Boston for a tweak and tune session with the guru down that way.


Now briefly on the rear.  I know the DU737 is THE replacement for the sachs unit I have, and Ive heard good things about it.  Now, what about a superbike rear end as well?  the 796 and 848 share the same swing arm, so is the shock an option as well?  (pending clearance issues with the external reservoir)
There's a guy in NH that is amazing with suspension...just sayin'
