The CB1100RS: Can it Really Outperform the Standard?

[nhawk7504_imp]

Got my Ohlins here for my Sportster in 2009: http://www.motorcyclemetal.com/gpage32.html - He custom builds for any twin shock bike and weight of the bike and rider.

Thanks for "showing the work" behind the original set of points, Ulv, and I mostly agree with your conclusions. The fundamentals of the '13 and '14 are very good, and it can be made to handle just as well (or better) than a stock '17 RS with very few (if pricey) mods.

I'm still hoping the RS rear shocks will bolt up to a '14 std despite the swingarm change.

I am just about ready to buy the Ohlins HO 239 shocks; the Ikons helped quite a lot but I just can't get them precisely adjusted. I figure the Ohlins are a lot less than buying an entirely new motorcycle which itself will still need a whole bunch of fine-tuning and mods.
