Hi guys, just reporting back on the rear shock. I had hoped to do this last weekend, but despite Ted doing a one day turn around on the conversion UPS had other ideas.... In short the shock works well, giving a firm ride but not harsh. It's actually a little firmer than I would like in road mode, but I think that is probably down to me being on the light side for the BMW spring rates (when did the average rider become 100 kg? 
) I took it out in the twisties and ran it hard enough that it would have wallowed and required dynamic with the stock set up. Fully controlled in road, no wallowing at all. I haven't tried it in dynamic yet, I will report back when I do. High speed compression is dramatically improved, no more feeling like some one is kicking me in the butt on sharp bumps. All up (with me doing the install on the fork) with shipping it was a hair over $2K for the front and rear.
