Took advantage of the EBR suspension sale and got new innards for the front and a new bouncer for the back. Would it be worth it to pick up new tubes for the front forks and just build a completely new set that can be swapped out, rather than rebuilding the current forks? Thoughts? Threats? |

The install isn't bad. Unless you just WANT two sets of forks I'd pull your existing forks and service them with the new bits. (that's what I did....) |

The race stuff can be resprung and set to where it's reasonably compliant, but I'd not want to commute on it. The kit is really best for a skilled rider IMHO. Someone that's a faster rider in the intermediate or expert level at a track day, or a licensed racer. |

I think you answered the question there - I'm fairly fast around a track - and a big guy at that so the extra valving should really help - but I do want to be able to move around town if necessary without feeling like I have to be doing 70 on backroads to be comfortable. Anybody have any ideas on what part numbers have to be ordered to complete a cartridge fork kit? |
