Race Tech shocks, forks springs with gold valves

[RichRIII]

i installed Race Tech heavier front springs several months ago and it was much improved but springy as they said it would be without changing the dampening. The back still was under spring, especially two up with my teenage son.

I just installed the Race Tech gold valves in the forks and Race Tech rear shocks and this thing handles like a different bike. Much crisper handling, no fork dive, stable. Race Tech will sell you the right calving and springs for your weight and riding style. Highly recommend. Made in USA not China.

The racetech shocks seem very well built. The center shaft is heavy duty looking and looks more for a truck than a bike.

Hi guys! I have also bought the gold valve and springs but my mechanic asked for the instructions which didn't come with it! Anyone has got the instructions for the touring model to share please?

Hi Jtanc suggest going to the www.racetech.com. They have an instructions section, maybe even email as your in Singapore I doubt there's a local agent that will help.

Think the forks on an R3T are KYB43's Only reason I know this is I was recently looking on the site for a valve kit for my bike but the R3std and R3T have different forks and there's no kit for the std.

Hope this helps

I believe mine came with the instructions for a Honda, but it was the same KYB fork. Drill two sets of holes in each damper tube. Drop the gold valves just under the springs. Maybe me were set up fine.

They're gear is great! Looking forward to the day that the company in england (forget their name), maybe traxx?, will sell to US customers. They've a full drop in setup for Roadsters that is pure tities. Its the easiest possible install, unbolt it all, drop in, bolt it up, fill to predetermined height with oil, close, done.

So jelly of you Captains in the UK lol.

Maxton? - They will sell to you once the US eliminate the restrictive additional product registration and insurance practise. Simon Becker too. The other way is order them for local collection and jump on a plane to Manchester or Liverpool.
