Finally revalved and resprung SBK forks!

I put some Ti-Ni 2001 996 forks on my 1997 SS/SP last winter and finally got around to putting the right springs and a Gold Valve kit in them. WOW! What a difference! They already tracked better and gave better feedback than the original forks, but now they feel so smoooooth too! I went with .85 kg springs and C-33 shim stack and they seem perfect! Funny thing was, I didn't know but the forks already had Gold Valves in them, but I went ahead and used the new stuff anyway. Anyone need a used set of Racetech Gold Valves for SBK forks cheap?

I would love those valves.

How much?

Thanks,

How much do you weigh, Joe B?

I'm 170 geared, and have the .85 springs and a hybrid "c33.5" shim stack (added a .1x17 shim to a c33, so not quite a c34) in the forks on my S4. Just trying to get a data point...

I weigh 150 lbs no clothes, but my bike is 400 lbs full of gas, so I guess I'd need a bit less damping than you.

My bike is about 430 fully wet, so total package is ~40 lbs heavier. Hmm..

The .85/c33.5 combo is a little too stiff for my tastes, but apparently I'm not too far off.

RaceTech tried to talk me into stiffer springs when I did my forks, glad I was skeptical.
Would have been a wasted Franklin.

Joe,

Had some IM problems...

Price is fair.

Send me an email...

what oil are you running?

I'm using the RaceTech US-1 oil, supposedly 2.5-5 wt.

Ditto on the oil: Racetech #1 ($$$!!!).

Jay, you have mail.
