Hi guys, I went ahead and bit the bullet. I installed the Tractive Suspension fork cartridge in my 1250. Works very well, much more compliant than the stock setup. It really emphasized how harsh the rear is, so with only doing the fork the suspension is somewhat unbalanced. I currently have the rear shock in a box ready to ship out for the conversion tomorrow, so I will report back once that is done. I got the cartridge which I installed from Ted Porter at the Beemershop in Scotts Valley Ca. Ted is very helpful by the way I highly recommend him for BMW suspension. I got my Wilbers setup for my R1100S from him a few years ago and have been very happy with that. You have to send in the rear shock to get the electronic spring adjustment system swapped onto the new shock. I haven't seen anybody else do this yet with an RS so I thought I'd let you know how it worked out. I'll report back once I get the rear shock back.
