Some good feedback and idea’s, i know Chumba have been working on a revised link for the XCL (see below) which will change the HA to 66.5 and lower the BB by 1/4″ from 13.5″, pretty simple really.
The only issue i can see with a slacker HA is surely you must have to ride the front end more aggressively to keep from washing out? Fine if thats your style i suppose.
