They were very easy to fit and only took ten minutes. Took it out for a strop today as it cooled down to 35 degrees C, and at top speed of 180 kph there was none of the mid corner wobbles that it used to suffer from. Now onto the fork springs.

I mainly got the Ikons because they're from Aussie and I could dirrect credit thier bank with the funds (no credit card due to complete lack of self control). The ride is a huge improvement.

The ride quality has improved a heap... the damping ajustment is the key improvement I think. I was a little worried about going lower because of ground clearance when cornering and steering weight etc. but I have had no problems at all, glad I went for the 1-inch lowershocks... most definantly!
