I looked into the Ohlins cartridge kit for the RC. Sadly, they don't make one for the RC. It's either revalve or replace the entire unit. To the best of my knowledge (and I'm happy to be proved wrong) Traxxion Dynamics is the only company making a cartridge kit for our bikes. Revalving is a very real possibility and Dan Kyle has been suggested by many folks, along with a few of the responders here. I'm also looking at Superbike Italia (they show up at quite a few STT trackday events) to do a rework. Their feedback, like Dan's, has been pretty positive. THANKS GUYS for the feedback...
