We installed the Matris kit and HEL braided lines in one evening.
The matris kit was surprisingly easy to install.

The roads are a mess, so it looks like the test ride will have to wait another few weeks.

All I can say is "WOW"

The Matris Kit is awesome! 

The zed feels like a supersport now.  It took a few rides to dial in the preload to where I like it.

Bike feels solid and planted in the corners.

Well worth the money.

I went for 15w....all depends on your spring rate. I have .95kg springs fitted with my kit so went up a grade on the oil. works gr8.
It is better to have tried and failed than to stand with those poor meek timid souls who know neither victory or defeat..

I just ordered the regular spring rate with the kit. What ever that is. 

I used sae10.  I find the ride to be great. I am only 150lbs.  So I figured 15 would be too much for me.

I still have tons of preload available on the adjusters. 

Well worth the money.
