I got my IRC Metros today. I ordered them monday morning and they arrived @ 2pm today on 2 day shipping. Not a bad deal for 24 dollars total.

Nice fork! What is it, that looks like a good lot of travel...I fall in love with forks very easily

Adjust the preload all the way to the top to prevent bob. Or upgrade to a fork with a lockout.

dude...the preload was all the way...and just on the bike I lost 60mm of travel 
I HAD to get the stiff springs. Note how much room is left on the fork.
