anyone using the racetech fork kit?
#11
i really dislike the monotubes. the front end doesnt feel like it follows the road.
crusing speed they feel good, get into some corners and the front feels loose and unstable.
going over tar strips the front wants to weave
also with the mono tubes set at a 1" drop the bike sits 1.5" lower than stock height.
im using 3 c clip spacers.
if i go another spacers i feel it will be to firm and not enough sag.
if i go down a spacer i think it will be not firm enough and to much sag.
im really unhappy with the monotubes.
the hd 1" lowering kit was a stiff ride, but at least it felt more stable in the corners. and acutally gave it a true 1" drop and not more.
the racetech kit atleast ill have a spring matched to my weight, and the gold emulators.
ive come to the conclusion that progressive rate springs just plain blow, doesnt matter if we are taking rear shocks or fork springs, progressive rate springs are just not for me.

Mine are the standard height ones, the kit said use 2 C clips to give stock height.
Just another reason not to lower!!
