The stock Tourances!

Holy Crap Stevepsd! That road looks like I went up monday evening last week, but it was only 10 miles total and no clift. I let all the rebound and compression off, should have aired down but did not. Stock Tourance on front and Scout 60 on rear. 33psi Fr and 37psi Rear. Bunch of big tossing hits on the Hepco & Becker skidplate, no damage tho. I was very glad to reach the top of that trail with no damage, course had to come back down it, and fellow rider's DR350 quit, so had to bring him down on my bike without rear seat (on the cargo pad).

P.S. We went up "North Fork South Arkansas River Road", local told our leader about it, way too hard to enjoy, more survival than adventure. This road takes off hwy 50 to the north about 16 miles west of Salida, Co., another one to mark down as not fun on the ST!
