Mark your lower fork leg with a dry erase marker and see how much of it gets wiped to check your travel, it may be using a bunch but you can't feel it because it's so progressive?

Have you gone softer on your compression clicker?
It's a cool feature allowing you to run your set up a bit softer but still get hold up by adding tension to the preload. I'm typically 1.5-2click in from all the way out. Every 1/2 turn you will feel a click
If I had to rate them on a scale of improvement from 0 to 10 with the TAC fork being the baseline of 0, I would say the KYB's were a 6-6.5 and the CV's are the 10. I think the KYB's could be better with some fine tuning and probably get to 7 or 8 but the CV's are still better. To sum it up, if you can find a fresh set of KYB's that don't need anything for less than $1000, jump on it and you'll be stoked. If you find a set for 500-700 and they need springs, a revalve and you think you might want to dump a little extra cash into them to make them better, sink a bit extra and go for the CVs. Either way, you'll get most, if not all of your money back as long as you buy them right.
Ill probably hang on to the 16 until the 18s come out and I might just have to look for a set of CVs for it and maybe try the TACs on my 06 KX 250 as I am sure it is better than my Race Tech set up KYBs!
