Minor Winter Project - installing suspension worth 1/3 of the bike

This is the shock: http://www.hyperprousa.com/catalog.php?cat=Shocks#sd5

Don't know what I'm going to do with both high and low speed damping. I can barely wrap my head around getting compression, rebound, and preload correct.

After this I'll have to make some custom brackets for the Givi windscreen that I bought because the stock brackets are meant for a 2006 ER, but I've got a 2009. The headlight surround is obviously larger on the 2009 and it wasn't worth the trouble of trying to send the damned thing back. I might also add some brush guards, for protection from the cold. There are a few nice ones out there, that only require attachment to the handlebars, and not the bar ends.
