Sorry if i sound like a cynic but i work in IT and us lot are generally a sceptical bunch lol
FWIW, I've run an Ohlins shock for a good few years but took it off this Spring to get it serviced. In its place, I fitted an R6 shock with dogbones bought from Devilsyam. I haven't yet got around to having the Ohlins serviced but I guess that says I'm happy with the R6 shock option.
What you say about altering linkage geometry affecting rising rates and damping response is true. Fortunately, the R6 mod doesn't seem to induce any problems as a result of the changes.
