As with all things, its important to follow the directions to a "T" and be honest with your assessment of your riding style and capabilities.

Do it yourself or, if you're not comfortable with this type of work, find a capable technician. Using a technician, you should get away with the works for no more than $350-400.


Thanks for the input. I have the RC for pushing hard....the hawk may see one trackday a year if lucky. I liked the racetech kit for the forks, gave enough performance for street while helping at the track. I figured rear would do the same. I know a $1200 ohlins would work great and be a trick piece on the hawk.
