Have not had it on a real MX track yet for a real test other than my own VERY choppy and rutted out track and fine on that. Even out trail riding the forks are much better on roots and rocks than before the mods.
I had them do an off-road and MX valving combo. The shock got the bladder mod too.
Second ride, backed off the compression two clicks and thought I was on to something. Then I jumped on a 2017 Husky FC 350 with the Factory Connection spring conversion.......WAY better feel entering corners as far as feeling more planted and much more traction.
I am now in a forced two week break (my friends private track is closed for family gathering crap) and I will not ride again until 8/25/2018. I will drop two pounds of air to start, play with the compression a touch and make a decision on whether I can make these work or I will drop whatever it takes to get that Yamaha KYB SSS feel (Technical Touch is looking good).
I will say that even as good as the FC forks conversion felt, it was not as good as my 2006 YZ 250 fork.
Has anyone tried the new Ohlins? MXA tested them (online is where I saw this test) and they raved about them. I am "in tune" with most of what MXA feels as I have similar opinions as them since issue number one (yes, I am 60 years old). I just do not want to drop 3K without a second opinion.

Thank you.
Apart from the bigger spring. I wonder if that's the ics spring and they are just reducing its rate to get it to settle
Btw, I have 51 hours on the bike, rebuild shock ?
Just curious when Shock should be redone (Fc revalve has 17 hours on it)
I bought the 2018 parts, but of course shims not included and I cannot find anywhere info on what shims to leave off the 2017 and what shims to add.
Thanks for any help!!
Thanks
