I like it a lot, but am unsure how much is placebo
Planning to ride my nineT back to back with my brother’s stock-shock-equipped bike soon, so I’ll have a better idea of the difference then. It was noticeably stiffer out of the box, and after making adjustments it seems that the difference is that it eats bumps better and returns to a neutral position more quickly. I like how adjustable it is and plan to have it set up by pros sometime soon.
Overall it looks sick and handles nicely, and I’m happy to have made the purchase. I bought mine through Mike Wheeler at Kyle Racing East and he was a joy to work with. Solid price and the fastest shipping turnaround I could’ve asked for. He’s based out of East Florida, but Kyle Racing has a Cali branch if that’s closer to your neck of the woods.
I know that the Pier City Cycle boys are absolutely on fire about Wilbers and that some forum members have had good experiences with them, but I have really only heard of the brand through this community and wanted a more established name on my shock. We’ve also got Ohlins all around on my Dad’s R1200GS and it rides beautifully even at 100,000mi - they make some good products!
Sadly Kyle passed away, he was the man dialing in my 04 Hyden edition rc-51, he really knew that Honda suspension, Wilbers has been around a very long time, and Wilbers makes a great suspension, running their suspension on my 22 road glide, love it. I still have two more naked bikes on my shortlist before I buy my next bike.I like it a lot, but am unsure how much is placebo

test rode r9t last weekend and it was just a fun little bike to ride, I never thought I would be interested in a BMW, but hey, I'm open-minded to all bikes. My local BMW dealership owner/racer higher recommends Wilber suspension.
