I do ask because I've seen some Members Rides on the boards that had a rear trailing strut conversion and it looked badass; he was running something along the lines of 500f/410r so I was wondering why he wasn't running something like 650# on the rear.
Now I wanna know why he did it in the first place lol

What you haven't thought about yet is that putting the spring over the shock in the rear actually cuts into your inboard tire clearance and thus is generally a performance detriment. ;)

That puts the inner-barrel about 1.2mm inward compared to stock weaves (AKA, the inner barrel won't even change position). However... My outer barrel has 60mm or someoddrather poke; not sure if I'll get it to fit without some crazy rolling/pulling
