I was still fighting traction on the launch today. I know the front shocks were not helping matters. I had a set of 90/10's on it that lasted 30mi on the street before one just went bad, so I threw these shocks on for now. Not how I wanted to end the year, but the potential is there for any easy 10 sec pass and it made it home in one piece again.
