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...
Race-Tech also make replacement cartridge kits for RC51.
They are 25mm cartridges vs. 20mm for Traxxion-Dynamics.
However they are around $1400 as opposed to $999 for T-D's.
The kits are not just the cartridges and internals, they also come with springs and oil, and some extra shims.
