    PHDS Progressive Handlebar Damping System

    Does anyone run one of these? I was just browsing for parts for my bike and managed to stumble across it, the vibration on my 650 is absolutely terrible on long rides and these could be just the ticket. Had never seen them mentioned on here though so has anybody used them?

    Progressive rate PDS

    Does anyone have any experience with progressive rate springs for the PDS shock? I think the progressive rate may interfere with the damping settings, meaning the damping may be hard to dial in correctly. Is this true? I have to stiffen up the rear and I have the option to go progressive or...

    Installed progressive rear spring, now front is deflecting

    Ok Taffy, KTMlew, and anyone else with an opinion, check this out. I've been on and back off so many suspension bandwagons over the years, it's not even funny. My latest foray is into the world of the new progressive rear springs special built for us "big boys". I have installed a...
