I'm not trying to start another argument on the subject of stiffer vs stock dampers, etc.  I'm about to button up the bottom end of the turbo bike motor, and I wanted to hear from someone who actually is running the M3 dampers.  I'm looking at 120-130 hp easily out of this engine, mostly street-riding, and I'm not sure what to do about the primary dampers.  Is anyone here actually using Mark's dampers on the street, with perhaps several thousand miles or more?  I've read all the threads on here about the problems with soft Honda springs hitting the limits of the basket, and the counterclaim that stiffer rubbers will aggravate primary chain wear.  I already have a set of the german "unbreakable" primary chains slated for this engine, but what to do about the rubbers?

I may end up dealing with a bike that might need these, so I'll put my hat in the ring.  There is now dual interest.  Please come out of the shadows and present your information!
