my bike performed well this weekend, but I did find myself wanting to add dampening.
I wonder if anyone is surprised at the 1200 lb spring rate. I am, but only a little bit. The shock and spring work at a tremendous mechanical disadvantage on the Hawk. I wish Adam could get the factory to offer an adjustable damping shock as an option, or as a after sale part for those who want one.
