    traxxion valves seem to be a huge advance on the standard ones tldv8...?
    I swear by them....though i havn't used the race-tech version...

    That may be true but they are a pain to deal with from my own experiance...i found it much easier to mail Todd at Calsportbike and get him to send me 1kg/mm Racetech springs and Goldvalves for the GSXR forks....I still need to spend some time setting it up better,but every time i go out for a short ride to do that i end up doing 100's of k's instead and thinking next time...there have been lots of next times. ...As far as the thread goes,its been said..go and ride one or the other,you either like it or not..in saying that, TL's are quite different to the usual cookie cutter bikes..they are fun but far from perfect.. imho
