They aren't cheap but we love them. By the way, I noticed that you live at Lake Hartwell. How do you like it? Where do you ride, and what city do you go to when you need to shop or go to a doctor? Atlanta is a long distance from there.

They severely diminished my ability to curbhop too, which is necessary in Atlanta.
Regardless, the ride was WAY better and I could flatfoot the PCX, which is never a bad thing. I tippietoe it on the stock suspension. I didn't notice any bottoming out on potholes either. They're great suspension setups.
