Hi all, over my road trips this summer, I'm 90% in love with my bike setup and wouldn't change a thing. The other 10% that I'd like to upgrade is the squishy front forks. I've read the threads on springs/oil and R6 forks, but still wonder about the risk/reward between the two options. What is the biggest bang for the buck and effort? Keeping in mind:
R6 forks
- buying them and not knowing/trusting their history
- buying or fabricating the installation hardware
- installation time and difficulty
- ride compared to stock and compared to upgraded springs and oil
Racetech springs/oil
- repair time and difficulty
- ride compared to stock and compared to R6 forks
Thoughts from those who have done one or the other? Anyone done both (Fred)?
Thanks!
