Just completed the installation of new front springs and the Gold valve kit from Racetech. Used their "super slick" 10wt. fork oil also. Installed new seals and bushings while I had the forks apart. A fairly easy project to complete
WOW!! What a difference in the way the front feels. It floats over places that used to jar the bike. Can not feel road vibration through the grips anymore. My wife even commented on how much better the bike rode to her.
Valves and springs are about $280. Parts from HDL about $40. Fork oil about $24 per quart. New suspension feeling--priceless.
I am sure this upgrade is not as good as the Traxxion setup, but it does offer a less expensive alternative for those wanting an improved front suspension.
The next step is a Traxxion or Progressive rear.
Have a good day.
