Yeah ... I had Todd get me the next-up rate for Racer's Ohlins rear suspension units. When they were being fitted (along with the fork kit), the mechanic and I set up the bike to the sag specs.
Then I sat on the seat and bounced it up and down a few times. We stiffened up the rear a little bit and loosened up the front a little bit based on my "seat of the pants shock dyno." ...
The only modifications I've had to make to the suspension settings since have been to tighten up the jounce damping in the rear by two clicks and tighten up the rebound damping in the front by two clicks after I'd ridden the bike another four hundred miles ... I might have the ends swapped around, but you get the idea. It's just about as perfect as I'll ever need.

It sounds like the way to go. I’ve learned over the years that cutting corners just gets more expensive, because you end up doing it later anyway. I’m a bit late to swap my Ikon purchase, but I’m hoping I can get them to work. At least they are cool enough to exchange the springs for free. Love that surprising customer service option. But those Ohlins...
