XT600E Suspension
I was wondering about any suggestions or recommended upgrades for the rear suspension on an XT600E. Mine's a 1990, and the stock suspension is leaving something to be desired in terms of preload and travel (namely when riding fully-loaded with ali panniers).
-I have heard that a 550lb. spring is available from David Lambeth, are there any opinions on this?
-Does anyone know if a shock from another bike would fit (Kawasaki KLR or some dirtbike)? Spending $600-$800 on an Ohlins or WP shock is somewhat out too.
My main concern is the suspension preload and stiffness. If anyone had any advice regarding raising the rear of the bike as well (to get a few more cm of ground clearance, and prevent the bike from high-siding off its kickstand) that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Micah
