    I cannot see how you would increase road noise by cutting the bump stops, until the springs compresses enough to hit the cut stop.

    But I have to agree that it will increase body roll when cornering.
    Anyone with cut stops that has not experienced more body roll, just aint trying hard enough.

    At that is why I will never cut my stops.

    Oh, Sambo said "roll resistance" I thought he was meaning "rolling resistance"....you know the tire and their various compounds and how sticky they are or are not.....geez Sambo you usually are very particular about people using the correct terminology....I think the more common term is what PK said..."body roll".


    PK, gotta agree....I ain't tryin' hard enough to worry about body roll......I'd gladly sacrifice that for the "improved" ride (such that it is ) with the stops cut in half. Plus it's not permanent....all I got to do is buy replacements.
    Guess it all comes down to an individual owner's needs/wants/tolerance..etc.....
