The telelever was left off for two reasons. It would not allow the longer wheel travel, nor the weight savings desired on the more offroad oriented HP2. VWW

I've got 127,000 miles on my old GS and I've never scraped the cylinder heads once. Don't go giving me the old "your just not riding fast enough" line either. I've passed quite a few so called sport bike riders on the inside of some of our blind decreasing radius turns here in No. Cal., without sparks flying off of the valve covers. VWW

That would be damped, but not with oil, with air. re-read the explanation. The air is run through "air throttles" to achive damping. VWW
