The rear knobby hits my airbox especially with Lowering Link. Much better with preload cranked down and side cases/rear crash bar combo removed(22.5 lbs less). I'm at 150 lbs. in full gear.
I like your suggestions Jay. I just try and ride easy, I do forget in the mountains sometimes. I may re'install OEM link?
I really like the Kenda big blocks though, and CSC did warn me because of the lowering link install.
