Fork Mid-valve

Fork Mid-valve

(OP)
Which is a better configuration for use with the "mid-valve", a check plate and a spring or a shim stack?

The application would be street/road racing.

I have always seen a spring and a check plate, but I recently heard that Honda has ditched this on the CBR1000RR in favor of   a shim stack.

I figure that that the check plate would offer more flow than a shim stack, but that the shim stack would allow you to tune the damping more precisely.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

That had some interesting information on it even though they were only concerned with dirt riding.
