	I used the chart from RaceTech's website (gif image attached) to select
the proper weight springs, and then had the new springs and emulators installed
'cause I just don't have the time to mess with it myself. It's soooo much
better than stock in terms of feel, control, smoother ride, and less dive under
braking. I have no experience with Lindemann, but I can certainly refute their
claim of RaceTech being hard to set up. It's not like having real cartridge
forks because the damping adjustment isn't external, but then I got it set
right and now leave it alone anyway. I did the forks on my Suzuki SV650S, too,
and am also very pleased with those.

FWIW,
