Darrell - refresh my memory - one of your trips about 60,000 miles ago was to include a consultation at the Porter shop. Did he end up doing any work on the RS?
Ray - I spent some time with Ted when I had about 40,000 miles on the bike discussing suspension on my RS. I do have Tractive suspension on my 127,000 mile GSA and find it improves the ride on that bike. I’m probably 50# in full gear heavier than Chris so that probably makes a difference. When I lost my drive shaft at 93,000 miles my dealer brought me a 2016 RS with 13,000 miles on it to ride. I did not find any difference in that bikes suspension than mine with 80,000 more miles. I should probably eventually consider doing something with mine so will speak with Ted again. I have bought 7 or 8 shocks from him over the years and know he is a good person to work with. I could just run out there and have him do the work there as it is just over the hill.
