Whats the best upgrade for the front suspension, especially if you lower it?

Progressive mono tubes
RaceTech lowering kit ( hp springs and fork emulators)
Progressive lowering kit
Hd lowering kit
Any lowering spring kit with ricor iniminators

So many options.. So whats the best?

I want it lowered, but i want it to ride and handle well.

 

You cant lower the suspension and call it an upgrade. Lowering is always a downgrade. Why do you want it lowered?

I have the Monotubes at stock ride height and the difference is just night and day over stock.

If you must lower the thing then I would run monotubes, bang for buck is excellent.

 

i have a 21" wheel on the front and want the bike to atleast sit at stock height.. so i have to drop the front end a bit.

i did read your write up on the mono tubes.. i think thats the way ill probably end up going. but the monotubes with a 1" drop

 

Traxxion Dynamics AK-20

 

i looked at those and i want them lol
but a tad out of my price range at the moment.


i spent a decent amount in the first place on bitchin bagger shocks and front lowering kit. i cant drop over $1000 on the Traxxion setup... wish i could, but i want to get a nice set of shocks too, and im looking at the ohlins setup or the progressive 940

 

I have a 21" front wheel with the progressive monotube - 2", absolutely love it!

 

I had my SG lowered 2" a few weeks back, i am going tomorrow to make an appt. to have it raised up an inch. I was talked into the 2" and now i can't ride into my drive with out stopping then come over the rain gutter at the curb. I also have to watch out for ALL speed humps/bumps in parking lots and subdivisions. I needed it lower because of my 29" inseam. Looks good but function over style is going to win out on this one.

 

I went with the progressive kit and lowered it 1" Rides fine and I am still flat footed, I have a 30" inseam

 

My vote would be for Ricior intimidator regardless of any other front suspension mods you might do, I would recommend them to anyone, not just because I have them but because of what they do, I am very satisfied with the product, it works, just my opinion
