Re: fork overhaul (slightly ducatic)

new springs that are made for your weight. race-tech gold valves are ok but there are newer valves, made by penski or ohlins that would perform much better.

i hear this guy does good work on forks and shock. maybe he could answer any questions for you or perform the fork service. good luck

Re: fork overhaul (oneducs)

Stock oil weight is closer to 7.5, but most switch to 5wt.
