I'm a 176 lb(naked) B rider. I don't usually concern myself with free or static sag, prefering to use shock spring preload as a guide and staying under 10mm.
I'm comfortable working on the fork now that I figured it out. As long as I can get parts I don't need a manual. Its actually easier than a KYB in some ways as nothing is crimped/peened. The compression face shims are an odd size(small 8mm ID for a large OD). I think it runs a higher cartridge pressure than a KYB even with the PFP backed all the way out (still 7mm preload). I'm going to try reducing the main spring preload, down to 1 or 2mm. This will mean some special parts. Its not bad but there is room for improvement on the small stuff. It might feel a little worse without the FlexBars.
