Re: [ST] Race-Tech

["Mike Patzius" <zeusx4@xxxxxxx>]

I am one of the people who has done the Race Tech springs in the front and 
left the rear shock alone.  I have no complaints at all.  I have a friend 
who had an extra set of springs for his Bandit 1200, I called Race tech and 
asked if they would be a direct swap.  They were a direct swap and I have 
had them for about 20,000 miles now.  Before the springs were upgraded I had 
my preload cranked all the way down and the front still was way to under 
sprung for my weight.  I weigh 225 with out gear.  Now I have turned the 
preload to where 4 lines are showing and the ride is fantastic compared to 
the old springs.  I feel the bike tracks fine, I have no issues at all since 
this install.

I recently got a Daytona to go with the RS and did the same mod to the front 
of the Daytona.  I have had an opportunity to take it to the mountains with 
the new springs and WOW is all I can say.  I asked the tech at Race Tech 
what the stock spring set up was on the RS and he said that Triumph 
generally sets the bikes up for 140-150lb riders.  He also told me that the 
japanese set their bikes up for 160lb riders.  Who knows how true this 
statement is, but the RS and the Daytona I have were way to soft.
