Actually, my photo was from the Cherohala.
I haven't ridden the 'Gap' for a year or two. Too many squids up there have turned it into a carnival.
And there is this stuff in the area which I prefer, like this gravel road.
First Wayne, thanks for the photo post, nice. To expand on above, Kurt, I have both the YSS (now proven) and Penske available. I have the fully adjustable YSS on my Stelvio now for ~1 month, and its superior to the stock shock in every way (I'll post about it tonight). I will be installing very first Penske on a Stelvio in the next week or so. I'll post an update under separate thread when it's on and "tested."kwn306 said:The rear suspension on these bikes really suck and no one has a proven replacement rear shock.

All I know is that I have the knob cranked way beyond 27 clicks / turns (that's what the manual states) and I guess I have the rebound (little screw on the bottom of the shock) turned as far as I can turn it counter clock wise.
Any little bump in the road the bike bottoms out with a hard "thud" and jars the hell out of your spine and springs back really quickly and will lauch you off the seat. The roads in DC are crap and the 4 miles I travel in town are very painfull after riding the super slab.
On the way home in the evening there is a rolling bump just before I hit the express lanes and I can launch the wife a good 12" off the seat, she claims it's better than a ride at a amzusement park ride, but when we both land again we get the "THUD", bang, etc.
Yes the spring is an issue (it is way too soft), but it's more than the spring in my opinion, the rebound and damping are not even close for the type / style of riding that I do.
My Kawasaki Concours was the same way, Progressive had a aftermarket shock for the bike, I purchaed one and it was 100% better than stck stock but still not right for our size / weight and the junk we carry. A bunch of us in the Concours Owners Group ask Proggrevise to re-visit their design. They came up with the "Fat Bastard" for us big boned riders, I need to clone that shock and install it on the Stelvio. I have yet to bottom out that shock or launch the wife, it's like riding in a Lazy-Boy.
