Default Are Ricor Intimidators worth it?

And does anyone have them on their FXDWG and does it really make a difference to handling/ride?

Thanks for the information. Do you happen to know if Brian offers an additional discount to forum members? My wish list is growing -- pennies count!

Better grab that price while you can - most have paid $299.

Just ordered mine. Emailed Brian with questions and he replied very promptly. Great service! I was talking to the service manager at my dealer and they had just put a set in a street bob and they all were impressed on how much better the bike handled for such a simple mod.

Yes, they are definitely worth it!
At first I experimented with different spacer lenghts and fluid levels, only to find out that Brian's initial advice works best, so I took of 5/8 of the spacers and filled the forks with Amsoil 10 wt., amount according to service manual.
Handling is now much improved, the brakedive is as it should be and riding over potholes and bumps is a blast.
Together with the Ricor rear shocks, they are without a doubt the best upgrade I got for my bike.

First off, I don't have them so I can't comment first hand one way or the other. I did however just read a very favorable review and endorsement in this months Motorcycle Consumer News. BTW, this magazine accepts no advertising and as a result claims to be unbiased when assessing bikes and products.

Better to explain how you saved $120 off the normal price.
