Nice setup there. What are you going to do with the forks? Re-spring and valve them? Heavier oil? Or are you going to bite the bullet and get Ohlins forks too?

Forks are going to get a full valve kit and resprung. No need to replace the forks or even the cartridges at my level. Also it's a money issue as well.

Even expert racers will just get an ohlins cartridge kit for their forks. I have read most people say there is no difference between replacing the fork internals with an ohlins cartridge kit and buying the ohlins R&T forks besides bling factor.

The only reason I was able to get the best shock on the market was because of the sweet price break...

Eh, maybe next time I go out there. No big rush... first race weekend is at the end of april

You know you'll wanna take that bitch around the neighborhood when it's installed.

ceo012384 · 12-02-2008, 12:34 PM

True... I certainly will be doing that.

Also the forks are off though and I'll be sending those out to get rebuilt so there's not really a rush on much of anything.

If it makes you more comfortable and confident, it's worth the money. The valves and springs make a big difference, the full cartridges even more so. Good luck next year! Keep it shiney side up and take home some paper weights...
