Very well, thanks for asking. It seems a perfect fit for my weight and style of riding.

Interestingly, when I fitted the Öhlins shock with the standard 115Nmm spring, there was no discernable static sag whatsoever and the shock was topping out over bumps on the supplied preload setting. It was ok once I'd wound back the preload by a few turns but now I have the softer 105Nmm spring, I've put the preload back to how it was originally set by Öhlins.

I think if I took frequent pillions or was a 'sportier' rider, then the 115Nmm might be better but, for me, the 105Nmm is perfect.
