Race Tech suspension and CKT

[Owl]

It is NOT just the springs man, it is shim stacks and valving and oil weight and oil level as well man- ( Emulaters in certain bikes are required due to NO externall dampning adjustments availlable)

And RE the Speed Tripple, it is also VERY VERY important to change the stearing head bearings at the same time, standard are CRAP!!!!!! they basically mechanicall lock before the correct amount of tension has been applied to set the front end up for NZ roads, ie bumpy bumpy causing a lot of head shake and harshness

My service side on the race tech gear is, I have CKT do all the internal work on the forks, ( They are the professionals at this side of it) and I do the stearing head bearings and tension, and set up the spring pre load ( Tension) and clickers to suit the rider as A RIDER myself, ( My professional side of it)

Holy shit Shaun! Now you've given me more to think about.
I wasn't planning to go crazy with this Shaun $$$, but just wanted an improvement over the stock progressive springs and get constant springs suitable for my weight i.e. .90!

Id like to concur with everything that Shaun said, that is exactly the proffessional arrangement and it works well because we ( CKT ) are boring engineer type people. Shaun is great at the final set up and the other bits and pieces he does, plus one on one!
Hate to ( excuse the pun ) put a damper on how much you want to spend but changing to linear springs on that Triumph will only give a small improvement and you will still be disappointed. If you go to www.racetech.com the site states that the forks in that bike are about the worst ever made and they are not wrong! We have already kitted a set and the result was huge. There is a specific kit for them and its a tricky one but its the best money youll ever spend on that particular bike.

Cheers Robert & Shaun!

I had read about the RaceTech kit for my bike and I'm going to have to give it serious thought.
I've had this bike 21 months and only now have I had the balls to fiddle with the suspension. I've certainly improved the rear, but the front still ain't flash (but you already know that)!
I do plan to keep this bike, so it may be worth biting the bullet and sorting this out once and for all! Dare I ask how much this re-vamp is likely to cost?

Please pm me on that one, they all vary according to their complexity and unfortunately the exchange rate is hurting prices reasonably significantly. Please also remind me model year. The job would be done through Shaun as he put his hand up first.

Lucky you are such a close ride away from New Plymouth were we both are, this will make the fitting and set up of it a lot easier and over all cheaper for you, due to the time involved in travel etc
