Paulie,
It's clear you have as much or more experience / knowledge of suspension as anyone here .... probably more. I doubt you'll find many long term Wilbur's users here on HUBB.
Lots of Vstrom riders bought Wilbur's shocks, in fact two DL650 riding friends have them on their bikes. But to hear more specific feedback I'd get on to some Vstrom Specific forums/boards and ask for feedback. A few BMW GS riders have bought Wilbur's as well but far more with the Vstrom group, I believe.
From you're description of what you need I think you need to talk to the best:
Precision Concepts
Precision Concepts Racing for all your dirtbike suspension needs. (951) 697-8488
619 / 593-7473
Several friends have had their XR650R's stock suspension re-sprung and re-valved by Precision and were thrilled with the results. I've ridden these bikes in the desert and in Baja. SO much better than stock. Magic carpet ride.
BTW, PC work for Factory Team Honda ... and just about everyone else. They are dominant in off road racing suspension. No one else really comes close. These shocks seem to last, can take a pounding for years.
Not as cost effective as Cogent, but these guys are the best. A good friend/racer/Honda/Yam dealer owner is Team Honda Off Road Racing manager, has worked with PC for years. All good. Here they are last week at the San Felipe 250. They did pretty good.
