What I'm shooting for is suspension that lets me ride my CB solo over less than perfect road surfaces, but with a feel more like a cartridge fork vs damper tube. Not looking for firmer, but for more compliant.

[/quote] I hope they are able to provide that- but based on what I have read, that kit tends to be more firm and sporty- which is a big part of my reason to buy the '17 Showa SDBV forks instead.

Lets hope they gave me the straight scoop. I think they did. I can definitely say that the Ikons have improved the rear suspension of the bike (for my purposes.) When I talked with Traxxion Dynamics, they wanted to know my goal (more compliant suspension over a variety of road surfaces.) Wanted my weight. Wanted to know if I used the bike solo or with passenger (answer = solo.) No part of my discussion with them indicated I wanted more sporty suspension. I think they understood what I wanted. I'll know once the kit is installed. As you know, Traxxion Dynamics can supply a variety of fork springs, and the RaceTech valves can be tuned for a variety of uses.
