That site looks more scattered than this DR list with all posts linked and an available archive for searching out specific threads. It also seems to me that switching or adding sites will only dilute the efforts we all have and will make by dividing our dr group up among various sites. It was a nice place to visit, but I'm staying here. Thanks anyway. John O. - - to unsubscribe to dr, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe dr" in the body of the message.

The rear springs are a problem we're just now trying to solve. I'm having the Progressive 620 shock spring installed on my stocker. I'm going to lose the ability to factory lower the bike but I should be moving up from a 6.5 kg to a 7.0 kg. More when I get it back. Ohlins also lists a rear shock for the DR.

The way I wrote it may have given the impression that Happy Trails was not responding to the problem. Actually they had been working on the problem, but had not yet gotten back to me as they had no information yet on it. The problem may not occur for all riders, and may not occur with aftermarket pipes. My whole intent was to alert other users to this potential problem, and show them a possible fix if it was a problem for them. At no point did I mean to be negative about Tim Bernard or Happy Trails, but on re-reading the note, I cans see how it could be misconstrued that way. I would encourage anyone with a DR350 who uses it on the street to look into this product. It allows you to have a very relaxing position on the bike when traffic allows. Also, Tim has offered to make the pegs wider, if I decide that is needed for my personal application. Happy Trails makes Happy Riders!

In the US it seems to be a bit difficult to find stiffer springs, but I know that some companies have them (White Power, Technoflex, Promoto). I use stiffer springs front and rear (each + 10 % stiffer) and had my rear shock rebuild with more dampening. Feels much better now. Oehlins rear shock must be very good too !
