R18 suspension upgrade

[Dpolo1]

I just can't believe the wilburs or ohlins can help, it only 3 and a half inch travel.

Wilbur's +20 adds an inch. Anyway, suspension is like people... you can have two people both 5ft 8 tall.... and one can be useless, the other a brain surgeon.

It adds inch of travel, or overall length

It adds inch of travel, or overall length which only raises the rear end. Changing geometry. No help at all you can't do much with only 3 1/2 inch. Harley has the same . So no change ,this is a joke. Sounds like wilburs employees or someone getting paid to promote these shocks.

Travel... 90mm becomes 115mm

Not going to make much difference. I'll save my money not worth it.

Just fitted the +20mm Wilbers. Dramatic improvement. Smooth. Highly recommend.

Well that's not much info. How many miles have you ridden it with new suspension.

Congrats. A bit of a no brainer if one can afford it and you intend to keep the bike for a while (in my opinion).
