Fork improvements

My XJ700 has 38mm KYB forks and so does the virago 1100. Progressive specs the same fork spring for both bikes.

Race tech makes cartridge emulators and springs for the 1100. I expect that they should fit my bike.

Has anyone tried these?
Does anyone have any experience with race tech?

 

Not tried them... want to put ninja forks on?

The virago ones should be an improvement - I think there is another thread right now where they are discussing it.

Btw - what are you up to on Saturday? I'm hoping to have my new bike ready, and will likely have my Maxim's new owner around for a ride... get out of dodge type stuff...

 

Or - we could say any Hali riders can meet in my drive way and we can shoot the breeze... I've got enough space in my drive that we'll be ok - chairs and cold water refreshments on hand.

Waverly rd is right next to me - as is my favorite local loop:

 

Yes the springs will work well.

I used Gold Valve emulators on my Vmax. I liked them so much I made copies for my Seca Turbo.

 

Sorry for the late reply WOOT I was out of it with the flu for the last week. How did your ride go last week?

 

Thanks Injuhneer, I assume that the emulators will fit my forks too since the springs are what holds them in place.
Do you agree?

 

Ridden that road a few times since then... had to pass a few (2) cars on monday - but with the cbr that wasn't really a problem. Still kept it nice and slow - I really can't afford the tickets. Travelled ~120km and only had to pass 2 cars... I consider that still low traffic.

Road condition is pretty good - I'll have to make the suspension a bit softer on the cbr to make it as plush as the maxim - but for now I'm enjoying how well it sticks to the road.

I have a set of these on right now... not really a street tire.

I think Casey will be over tonight to do some basics...
