Touring v Classic suspension

[Power-Tripp]

Have you had time to experiment and havea reccomendation?

RaceTech makes a very good spring and Gold Valve emulator set for the Touring. Or you can do the Traxxion Dynamics AK20 20mm cartridges.

I have a 2010 Touring, I found the stock suspension poor, Front "wacked" you at every bump, rear wanted to pogo you up off the seat. Changed to progressive springs up front, found them marginally better, but still wacked you. Then added Hagon Nitros in the rear, best money I have spent on the bike yet. Probably going to go with cartridges or emulators in the front eventually.

Inquired on Maxton, got this response:


Dear Mr. Keller

Thanks for your enquiry, unfortunately this year we have been unsuccessful
in obtaining product liability cover for the United States and Canada.
Whilst we have every confidence in our product, we are also very wary of
the legal system in North America. I apologise about this, we had been
enjoying building up a customer base in the U.S and Canada and dealing
with your country.

Regards

Richard Adams

Lionel I bought a R3C when I couldn't get the price I wanted on a new R3T, but I really still am drawn to the style of the R3T since you have owned both do you consider the riding difference enough to justify the change?

The Roadster would have to be pretty bad to be worse than the Touring, but I never rode one, so IDK. Traxxion said they haven't done a Touring yet, so they'd do the labor free on mine if I sent the forks, but the cartridge would be $1300.
