Have you changed your fork cartridges? How tough was it to do? Is this a job I can do myself? I want to upgrade to Traxxion AK-20's. I already have their springs. I realize that's a subjective question. But I don't know how else to ask. I'm out of town for a while and when I get home I will have two weeks get my 1125 ready to for a riding school. It would be great to have the AK-20's in place for the school cause they help you setup suspension as part of the school. Any advice appreciated. | ||

If you are reasonably mechanically inclined and have or can get the needed tools you can do it yourself. There are two versions of instruction's on the Traxxion Dynamic's site (one of them has pictures), check it out and decide if it's a task for you. | ||

After having had good luck with Traxxion in the past, I just had Traxxion do the fork conversion. Didn't want to take a chance on building a gas-cartridge fork set when I'd never turned a wrench on them before. If you have the tools, I doubt that it'd be impossible to do it yourself but I just didn't have time or willingness to risk having them NOT come out OK - so I just paid Traxxion for the whole deal. AK-20 is an awesome thing - you might see what Traxxion now charges for the rebuild and installation of the AK20 gas cartridges. I love them - love the response. They setup Higbee's 1125R so they do understand the system - though I can't say whether Higbee is now racing the Big Piston Showas or the AK20-modified forks at Daytona.
