You can also short shock and/or short shock/fork the thing.

I've got a buddy riding one with a shorter stroke and i2i shock paired with a 130mm fork. Short slack trail destroying machine.

Should be sweet! Looking forward to seeing it built.

FWIW: if you grab a deal on a Sektor Solo Air, then pop for one of the nicer Rev dampers, you basically get a Rev Solo Air for way less than normal. Ride the crap outa the Sektor as is, then pop for the damper when you can. I upgraded mine recently for under $100.

Or if you want a beefier fork, an ebay deal on someone selling an OEM Lyrik Solo Air with the Moco damper vs. Mico could be a nice match. The RS air forks are sweet riding, and very easy to tune, and alter travel with. Same deal with the damper - ride as is and upgrade later if you feel it's needed.
