Hey Guys,
Please help me out.
I have an '08 ST1300 with 18,000 miles. For me, it seems to handle just fine. But I'm not a 10/10 rider (maybe 6 or 7/10) and probably wouldn't know a good suspension setup from a bad one since I've only ridden stock.
I rode my '93 ST1100 for 60K miles on the stock suspension and was perfectly happy. I'm located in NE Ohio where there aren't alot of twisty roads, just alot of bad pavement. However I do head down to the twisties in SE Ohio/W VA/SW Penn often. I also get around 10K miles on a set of tires.
When you talk about the difference this suspension upgrade accomplishes, just what do you refer to? I'd really like to understand what I may be missing out on to make my bike handle even better than stock. Or am I not the kind of rider that will appreciate the subtle difference this kind of work will make? Is there another thread on the forum that I should be looking at or directing this question to?
Thanks in advance for your comments,
Dale
