I've done the Sachs, but I don't have the needle for the Ohlins yet. Very close other than that. Big mess though until you figure your retention/oil collection system out.

The PFP is beneficial for compression, but I would think a stiffer main spring would help in holding the bike up in the stroke and returning the forks to full extension following an impact. Then again, that would require even more rebound damping

Steve,
No problem with ride height, bike is up in the stroke nice. Pics of me confirm that. My only complaint is it could settle more, and I think that aggrevates the steering lock issue in tight slow turns. It just feels like it might have too much preload, so I dropped a few mm. Also added even more rebound this time in. The bike still liked the clicker wound into 5 clicks out with the free bleed removal.
