    Or take it to a Hagon supplier for direct comparison.

    Obviously ... if it was all at the same dealership ... ?? The one you used/claimed as "proof" the dealers would be of no use to him ...

    And I'm in my 46th year of motorcycling ...

    I could go to Davidson Honda in Alex and see if they want to part out that XR185 above the doorway.

    Thanks.
    what spring rate would you get.
    I have just re suspended a CRF 1000 with rates radically different from original, as advised and calculated from Nitron, but you could probably buy a used Himalayan for that sort of money and have a bike that is essentially the same as a motorsport.
