Default Racetech shocks and Sputhe stabilizer put to test..

Sunday I was able to put my Sputhe chassis stabilizer and new 13.5" Racetech G3-S shocks to test.

we head out from my house in Elsinore to hwy 74 up to Idylwild for lunch and kept going down hwy 243 into banning and back down through Ramona expressway to a buddys house for beer in Perris.

I cannot believe at how well the sputhe stabilizer tightens up the chassis. there are very tight sweeping road with passing lanes and I was easily doubling the speed limits without that wallowing the rear end used to do.
I just wanted to keep pushing her harder and harder I ended up at least 3/4 of a mile ahead of my buddy on his dyna almost all the way thru the canyons, he's running Works front and rear suspension and he couldn't catch me...

I had her up to 123 mph yesterday (the fastest ive been on my bike yet) and she was solid I couldn't believe it... straight as an arrow, no wobbles no issues whatsoever.

the racetech suspension is unbelievable as well, these with my racetech fork kit and the speed merchant adjusters the ride is ****
The ride is night and day vs the fxdxt shocks and the works black trackers..

Sweet. I'm glad to hear it. I have my suspension set up well, but the Sputhe is still on my list. I think it just moved up a few slots.

I am so jealous! Good to hear you liked it all so well and that it performed well, good for you!
I'm jealous of the ride and nice pics. You know it's going to be great scenery and a great ride if there are long needled pine trees around, it's just the rule

123 that is impressive! Do you have motor work done? I only have a stage 1, pro-pipe, fuelmoto ac and a powervision. I have only been able to get up to 110 mph. That was a pretty hairy ride. My bike seems solid up to 95, any more and it's a handful. I do have sputhe's, progressive 444's and amsoil heavy in the forks. I'm considering doing the Ricor intiminators? Any thoughts? Also I have some t-bars coming. Hope that helps?

Bike looks great and I'm sure it handles awesome...I'm surprised there is such a low percentage of dyna riders that will spend some serious cash on their suspension. If they only knew how good it could be...

Couldn't agree more. Best mods to date were the Ohlins and the front springs/Intiminators.

I can't wait to get a Sputhe installed.

If I knew then what I know now, I would have done suspension before the cams.
