I was just lucky enough to stumble upon them and will probably never ride them to there capacity!
I think that lots of us think of good suspension the way we think of a very powerful engine.  You don't get everything out of a powerful engine unless you spend at least some time at WOT running to redline.

However, you get just about everything good suspension has to give anytime you brake even moderately hard on rough pavement.  Even if you're not pushing the bike to the absolute limits, better forks should mean that the front stays more planted and stable in this case.  I contend that anyone who has to deal with potholes, washboard, cracked or broken pavement, or concrete expansion joints gets the benefits of better suspension.

Its funny you ask that...The area service manager, my tech with 30 years under his belt and the owner of the dealership ALL tell me how much cooler the "R" fork is than the "S" but none of them can tell me why...haha...I get the.."Its got gold...mumble...mumble...mumble..."

I was just lucky enough to stumble upon them and will probably never ride them to there capacity!

I had to check cheeky Forks are the same part numbers between S and R, but obviously cooler to say that you have R forks waytogo

You should totally paint the side covers black to match the cylinders.
