Evening folks!
I posted recently about upgrading to a Wilbers shock and am here to deliver. Will admit this is a short run of only a few miles but I picked the rougher streets in my neighborhood until I can get out and ride further.
It's ridiculous how much better it is than stock. Before, these same roads would transmit a small jolt to me as if the bike was hitting max travel and kinda one-inch punching you, and nevermind the actual potholes that would rock the whole bike. With the Wilbers you get (least in my order) 20mm longer length and it's preset to my weight.. the bumps disappear, feels more like the GS paralever or air ride where the bumps are still felt but more like a wave you roll over vs hitting rocks.
I would highly advocate this upgrade because it raises the ride height (you feel more like a standard than a cruiser), infinitely better adjustment and ride comfort, and you get more lean angle.
