What are you guys running? What's best route to go?

Front:
- racetech sprints / oil / gold valve emulator?
- AK20?
Rear:
-penski
-ohlins?

I dont have a problem with the stock stuff (im short n skinny) but weight has alot to do with it...how heavy are ya??

Race Tech .85 with Sling shot pre load adjusters 15w fork oil.
I don't waste time with the emulators but others do. The intimidators are good.

Jean you know you want my shock. ;)

Guys have had issues with ohlins but the fastest guys are on them. Penske gets my vote until the new shock company that cannot be mentioned comes out with theirs.

i'm at 170...yeah I gained 20 lbs in a year I'm fat now :(
for street stock suspension is okay...I'm thinking about the track though.

My 170lb guys are running .80 racetechs

170 lbs but trying hard to go back down to 155. I'm 5,9" but I guess height doesn't matter in suspension.

I'd start with .70 springs, 15w oil and BT-003 tires.

After some time on the track can do more as your speeds increase.

Ive been doing some quick laps at calabogie. through 18 im bottoming out my fromt suspension and its chattering. and im running a bridgestone bt? on the front and a metzler on the rear.

Step 1: Get good tires

My tires are good! brand new! plenty of grip

I installed the BT-003 RS tires. They super-rock.

What's a slingshot preload adjuster?

Okay, those Slingshot products look great. Glad someone finally made a KLEEN block-off plate too...

How do those Preload adjusters install if our fork caps are held in with c-clips?

Just bought a pair of Intiminator and going with 5w oil + stock spring as a starting point and go from there...(5w was recommended by Intiminator).
Thinking about SS preload adjuster but it doesn't fit stock handlebar. (had to go to 15mm-20mm preload)...might be too much?? any comment?

There is a diy on the tech area that tells you what/how to do it

Jordan yes they are held in with c clips. I just put a set on Bartlow's bike.

It's funny. I suggested an emissions block off plate like a month ago to them. Looks like Jim listens.

Whats an intimidator? and emissions block off plate?

oh and emulators?

Block off plates are for helping with the
Emissions air injection removal. You only need one.
Intimators are a drop in front suspension upgrade that proves front fork feel and help prevents the forks from bottoming out.

Talked to spears and it sounds like ricor put the intimidators on the backburner. Colin unless your fast I wouldn't put emulators in the bike just yet.

I put the Elka rear shock on my bike along with .65 springs in the front and 15w oil. I'm light (~130), but am an experienced racer so for me, this combo works great.
