Gents - some of the comments above are excellent - firstly most of us fall into a novice category (unless I am wrong and I am talking about riding skill here) - do we need shocks with 250 different adjustment points - I had mine set up from the shop and the improvement over what I had was awesome??? Secondly look is not so critical - thirdly I want the best I can get for my money that suit me as a rider - yep would of loved a set of Ohlins but at $1500 as opposed to a set of rebuildable Falcons at $550 then money became the decider.
Real hard question to ask Walter as always it would be horses for courses. But as is obvious pleanty of feedback so well worth the effort.
cheers
