Default Dampening..

How do you like the dampening on the Ultra's in comparison to vortag's fixed height kit? Can you spin it around easily w/a stock sway? What about rear inside grip.

Are the shocks consistant?

Default They seem to have a peak op range..

..with these springs. They dampen well when they get warm-&gt;hot but last (consistansy) for a breif time[1-4 autox runs back to back]. That's the cycle I've noticed. Ultra are too much for the street huh? I think I know what you mean. Sounds like 500/600 might be the sweet spot for all round "touring".. congrats on the new toybo kit
