Default Front suspension question

I have been reading about the Ricor's with the stock springs. Does anyone have any experience with Race Tech's products? Are they comparable? Seem to be around the same retail price. I did a search, but did not find much. Any info would be great as I am looking to start upgrading the forks soon. Oh and I have a 2011 Street Bob.

I have Ricor Intiminators with stock springs and RSD preload adjusters.

Here is some reading for you, it is going to answer all your questions.

The gold valves require some porting on your dampening rod, the ricors are drop in, unless you wanted to mod them but not necessary.

Brian at Ricor used the race tech springs and liked them. Last time I checked they only made a progressive type spring and not a single rate like you can get from traxxion.

If your not doing the springs I would go with the intimidators...they really work well.

That in itself will be night and day difference in how the front end reacts to bad parts of the road...just go through the trouble of setting the sag for your weight and you will have great results
