Nicely put, should clarify it perfectly for those for which English isn't their first language    (rather like my spelling)

OK, I really goofed when I measured the stroke -- the bike was on the sidestand! (I must have been half asleep)

 

Tonight I put it on the shop-stand and re-measured... the stroke is 58mm. What a relief.

UPDATE:

 

1. I received two (low res) photos from Wilbers showing the recommended installation. They show the remote preload adjuster bracket (which I did not receive, but it's on the way).

 

2. I have turned around my remote reservoir to mount as shown in these photos, but for the time being I am sticking with my original location for the preload adjuster (since I don't have the factory bracket yet).

 

3. A few more rides (and some minor compression adjustments) have made me very happy. As noted in my previous reply, the travel is 58mm (not 46mm like I incorrectly reported). The rear is now almost plush, but still firm. Feels like a different bike. The best thing is that I almost never think about the rear suspension anymore.

 

4. The improved rear suspension has now turned my attention to figuring out how to improve the forks without spending a small fortune.
