Race Tech

[TXToday@xxxxxxx]

For those considering the Race Tech mod.  I did it and it is definately an 
improvement.  Worth the $240.  If you're on a budget, consider just doing 
springs for less than $100 and much, much less work.  I believe you get 80% 
of the benefit at 40% of the cost and a hell of a lot less work.  Progressive 
Springs for your weight should do nicely with the stock damping.  For those 
doing the full RT emmulator setup, I did the work myself and it is time 
consuming and you have to remove the forks, but it is not all that difficult. 
 I went with 1kg springs for my 210lbs sans gear.  I started with the 
recomended 5w, but went up to 7w as the 5w was not enough to dampen the heavy 
springs.  10w and 15w fork oil seems very like a lot of rebound damping for 
.90 spring s with RT emmulators.  What did RT say about it?  My Emmulators 
started a 2.5 turns and are now at the recomneded 2.0 turns.  The ride is 
plush yet firm and I do not regret the spring size and would not go to .95kg 
in my case.  Preload is set for a sag of 35mm with rider.  Just though I'd 
throw that out there for those interested.
