I am 6'0 220 lb without gear. I hope to lose some weight, but lets pretend I wont.
For the fronts, I am hearing a lot of conflict around using RaceTech GVE or Intiminator or nothing at all, and just going with springs and proper oil.
If i go the springs and oil route. it looks like for my weight i need .90 or .95 spring rate springs, and 10wt oil and preload adjusters
Am i on the right path here? Or am I missing something obvious? Thanks!

So Dave, which GSXR1000 spring did you use? The 05-06 spring, or the 03-04 spring? I also have a 06 GSXR600 shock, and I tried a 03 GSXR600 spring, but the OD was too large for me to feel comfortable swapping it on there. Was the GSXR1000 spring the same OD as your 06 GSXR600 spring? Let me know, as I am curious at which one you used. Thanks!

BTW, get thread and a lot of good stuff here!
