Traxxion stuff is great stuff from what I've heard. But there are a ton of options...Contact Rick at Cogent Dynamics... www.motocd.com or (828)628-9025. Not only is he a great suspension guy but he's a great Ducati guy. Not only that, but he's a SS guy!! He'll go through with you exactly how you ride and use your bike. He'll pick the right springs and everything for you. There's also Jason from the old Section 8 departmentofsuspension@yahoo.com E-mail him and he'll get back with you. He's VERY knowledgeable also. For an SS I'd probably go with Rick at Cogent though, but either way you can't go wrong. I don't think Rick uses Traxxon stuff but you can talk to him. Like I said, word on the street is it's awesome stuff, but not necessairily the end-all, be-all of suspension parts. A "good" suspension guy will try and talk you out of spending money on the absolute top of the line stuff if they know what you're using the bike for and think you don't need it...that's what impressed me the most about these two guys. As a side note, those Showas are very good forks...I do about one track day a month (try to anyways) and Jason talked me out of any internal parts changes...He said let him blueprint the stock internals, correct springs, service, and I wouldn't believe the difference. So, that's what I'm gonna try...saved me a ton of money and still have an awesome product. But if you insist on spending money, I'm sure either one will sell it to you!!
