Racetech Fork Service

michael · 01-14-2006, 05:25 PM

With 18,000 miles on the bike, the front forks were feeling a bit mushy, so I decided to invest in Race Tech fork springs and Gold Valves (damper and rebound). It cost $400, and the results were worth every penny.

The valves and springs have transformed the way the front end feels. Now it tracks perfectly over a variety of road surfaces, and the faster you go, the better it feels.. With just the right balance of plushness and firmness, you can rail through corners with tremendous confidence as the front end sucks up all the bumps and keeps the wheel glued to the road.

what settings did you go with when you set up your front end?

Yep...Now if I don't find an Ohlins....soon, may have to settle for them to do the rear shock as well..
