has any one fitted race tech gold valves to the R1 forks if so was it worth it ?? i have a ohlins on the rear which now makes the front feel crap, Ive changed the springs and oil but still there is to much compression damping and not enough rebound ,,race tech tell me there gold valves will sort it but i would like to know from someone who has done it ,,,,,,anyone

well valves on the way from race tech in the states and not a bad price after i blagged a discount,,, i can rebuild the forks myself so that will be a good saving , its cost £150 to my door , so with any luck it will slow me down and keep me on the right side of the white line ,,,,,or is that the left ??

Nice one steve...............why have you got a picture of Oliver Reed as your avatar?????

Hmmmmm Oliver Reed's a pisshead ... Steve's a ... nooooo that can't be it, can it?

hes a hero,,lived his life to the full and did whatever he wanted ,you say pisshead ,i see a very talented actor who was an alcoholic and that was a real shame,,, i put his picture up because he made me laugh ,, i will change it back

Don't be silly ... I was only joking ... I agree totally, he was great!

shit sorry steve...............I thought it was you and you looked like Oliver Reed!!!!!!!!!

Racetech Emulators are the way to go definitely!!!
Ive got them in mine and the difference is astonishing
a lot of work to install even with the very detailed instructions provided.
But well worth it!!
although i got my TRX with Ohlins Fork-springs so i dont know what the effect would be with the std items but i imagine itl still be a huge improvement!
