13" should be stock (I think, unless the RGU is lowered like a SG?) Anyway, be sure to put your weight and select riding style (only two choices in the drop-down) but most importantly, in the "Notes" area write what you want, how you ride,etc. The selections for the form don't have enoughg options... just tell him in the notes that you ride solo X% of the time. Tell him if you ride aggressively or you just tour gently.
Howard reads all those things and builds accordingly.

I just got mine back from the Brown Truck a few minutes ago. I'm hoping to get them back on the bike right away.

Thanks, I finished reading his document on shock pre-purchase considerations.

Did you leave the Ohlin the same as stock regarding sag?
Thanks

I had set them originally (I bought them used so not actually spec'd for me) a bit less sag than the stockers but I still could bottom them. According to Howard, these had a lot more mileage than I had been told...(oh well)
This time, Howard (re)built them for me and told me to call him when I get ready to install(?) I'll give that a try and use his guidance.
