Actually that pipe is relatively quiet. I am in the middle of selling it on eBay as I switched it out for a Hotbodies Megaphone. ---

I watched a bunch of videos and I love constantly fiddling with my own suspension. I am in no way shape or form a “genius”…:rofl. I try to document what I found useful as much as I can in the sticky, feel free to take a look. The OEM R6 forks and shock are so over-sprung for my weight, it is not even funny. It is nothing more than a game of constant comprise to see which settings are less likely to kill me…:rofl. ---
