You are absolutely spot on on your starting points. Your spring rate is just fine. I tend to slightly adjust down from their oil height...
I have ran into that before, but I can't remember which bike. Guess it doesn't matter. I think your assumed reasoning is correct. I've also...
Also... don't you dare run around with that extra key bouncing and banging around on your powder coated triple clamp. [ATTACH]
That looks good. You might consider cutting a couple small strips of ABS and epoxy on a couple "bridges" connecting the tower to the nub. You...
