RE: [ST] Race-Tech Suspension Upgrade



It was $400.00 for me with the emulators, new springs, oil seals, dust
seals,  the bushings and a fork seal driver.  If your bike is low miles, you
could likely get away without the dust seals and the bushings, plus there
are likely less expensive fork seal drivers.   Many riders have just
replaced the fork springs with good results.  To replace the springs, all
you have to do is take the fork caps off one at a time and pull the old
springs out.  You may have to recalculate the preload spacer if the new
springs are a different length.  Experimenting with different weights and
levels of fork oil can make large differences in handling too.  Make small
changes and test each one.

I also did the race tech work myself and it really isn't too hard with the
directions on the triumphnet website.  You will need a drill press and a
good drill bit to make it easier, but the rest is pretty straightforward.

For those of you who have upgraded the front fork on your ST with Race-Tech
components, what was the approximate cost of doing so?  Please let me know
if you did the job yourself, or had it done at a shop (also, would you
recommend doing it yourself, or having a professional do it).  Thanks.
