Title: Fork Springs
Post by: Chris_B on June 16, 2006, 12:47:28 PM
Bonjour,
I was looking into a set of racetech fork springs and emulators. I was wondering if the emulators are worth it for street use? They are kind of expensive, I think. Just looking for some input as to wether they would be a good investment, I don't race, I just want to firm up the front end and get more stable cornering.
Thanks, Chris

There is a mind boggling difference between stock and the .8kg/mm RaceTech springs for me. Definitely worth the money. It should have been the first thing I did to the bike, IMO.
Don't worry about the emulators though. They're nice, but the springs are a better investment.
