COMMENTS:

This set up saves a total of 36lbs in weight over OEM units. I am very happy with the shocks. The first thing I noticed was an improvement in braking, I used to lock the front wheels under hard braking, but now I can brake a lot harder before lock up. I suppose the gas shocks are responding quicker, and keeping the tyre in contact with the road.

I am not happy with the spring rates though. The rear is quite a bit softer than the OEM springs that came off. I am getting more body roll as a result. Fortunately the springs are the cheap bit. I intend to try a 600 or maybe a 650 on the rear after reading Garth's comments on body roll. Not sure about the front yet, I may leave that alone.
