Mike is yours a factory lowered bike by any chance?

I can see that it won't be long before you are the volunteer tester for the group for some new ESA Wilbers on the GS-LC....Revs racing..remember!

No,my bike is standard height and I'm not taking responsibility for the testers job,thanks all the same....but if Revs want a tester I might be tempted.

Got my '14 TE yesterday. It feels a little plusher-not much though,so I'll have to see what this one's like.
I must say that the new bike does feel good.
I have the new Shift Assist fitted too. Changing up is good but down shifts are great,if only it would stop peeing it down!

I know what you're all thinking "Get out there in the rain,it's a GS" Well no,not on this one. I'd like to christen this one in the dry for a change.

I'm still hoping to hear from someone with an LC who has actually had a full Wilbers esa conversion, and how the new setup rides and handles.

Is there anyone out there?

Why would anyone do that? The LC suspension is superb as standard. No point in spending on Wilburs to correct a faulty bike??

Why? This bike is great in the wet, and within reason, can be driven hard on wet roads.

Why? because I just didn't feel like cleaning it.
As it turns out we got wet on the way back anyway so,I'm cleaning the bike.
I actually like the wet-just not that into cleaning and less into putting it away dirty.
 
FWIW, I like the stock ESA suspension enough to think: It would be great if a substantial minority of LC owners replaced theirs with Wilbers/etc, then all those lightly used ESA shocks will be available on ebay cheaper than I'll have to pay to rebuild mine when they're sacked. So lets all please continue to bash it, thanks! :green gri
