I installed the front Ohlin's shocks and measured the spring before hand at 6 1/4"

and after the front end came down off the jack onto the ground with the weight of the front end on the shocks now, measurement is almost the same. sorry for the upside down picture.

this would lead me to think that these springs are too stiff and not allowing the spring/shock package to work well together. Also the shock/spring is at a 45 degree angle which may not be ideal for the shocks to work well?

GoPro video test ride tomorrow so we can see how the shock/spring setup is working in real life conditions.

I think the rear shock/spring setup may also have the same issue of having too hard a spring?

I'll have more pictures tomorrow.
