Re: handling

[Erik Miner <axeis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I weigh 195lbs plus a few for gear. New tires will be Pirelli Dragon 
GTS. FWIW I've got the Ohlins rear shock. Interestingly enough my 
suspension tuner feels they ( Ohlins) didn't valve it right for the 
ST. It needs more rebound damping . We'll probably pull it and 
re-valve it one of these days. I'm shooting for perfect.. right now 
it's at 90% of the way there,  which is about 200% better than stock 
:-))
