I'm running 800f 700r at the moment and will eventually play around with springs.
You have the standard set? I assumed that T3 spec was yours

How many clicks of rebound/compress is there?

It's roughly 75lbs full soft and like 390lbs full stiffy at 3" a second from what I recal.

Unless it is "32-way" adjustable, it ain't shit.

Could you please comment on their street comfort?

I've read some reviews of Bikes using TTX36 dampers and they all say that the usual bumps they go through felt like they dont exist anymore after they switched.

He just got these. You need to give him a little more time I think.

Still driving to SoCal but I'll reply to this shortly, I have some interesting feedback from my days of riding although it wasn't with a TTX I think it still applies.

For the 800/700 setup I think they ride pretty good and they can be as compliant as an 800/700 setup can be. As far as compliancy with the way I currently have them setup which is 10 out from full firm on both comp and rebound seems to be good. I've tried 10, 15 and 20 on comp and currently I'm at 10. I pretty much did the same thing on rebound except at different times, I went from 20 down to ten gradually just to see what I could get away with before I would start sacrificing grip but was surprised and I only gained body control with no loss of traction. I still have more testing so don't hold me to any of this because it's just too early for me for definite findings.

As far as bikes go I think the factory stuff has so much high speed damping that it makes it very ballsy to ride fast due to the thing wanting to buck you off and I think they do it for a reason. I eventually put an Ohlins on my bike and had the forks revalved. The Ohlins was a 3 way so I was able to get the low speed damping I wanted and the high speed compliance I was looking for. I'm not a fan of a damper that just gives up over bumps but at the same time doesn't throw you around. I'm sure the TTX is more compliant over bumps but I doubt it's going to ride like a goldwing. It's a bit early for me to tell if I like the high speed damping as I have yet to dial in low speed damping. What I do like is that if I don't like it then I can always upgrade to a 3-way on the next rebuild


Hope this helps, I'll have more info later.
