For the guy asking rollout questions, are you asking about rough starting points for rollout depending on motor?
I had a 12R5.1 before the TOP and I replaced the center shock w/ a HB after running it for a bit. The stock shock w/ 25wt had very similar compression damping characteristics to the HB w/ 30wt. The rebound is kind of difficult to compare due to the differences between the thru-shaft and bladder designs. Either way, 40wt in the HB shock is pretty dang heavy...
