Fron what I've seen, the carts are about $850, the springs are about $175 and the "installation kit" (no idea what that is tbh) is about $150. So about 1200.

That price doesn't seem too unreasonable, IF it makes a big difference in handling. I never thought too much about how my Harleys handled, I thought they were pretty good, until I rode a BMW R1200GS.

It's only* about $5-600 less the MM's 30mm ohlins installed. The only advantage is this is a do it yourself job vs. sending your forks down to Howard and being off the road for the turnaround. The 30mm's are probably better, but I'll wait for reviews to be published before any decision.

*only... Lol. What's wrong with me?

Given that it is a Dyna and not a BMW R1200GS (or another make/model of similar performance), are Ricor emulators good enough? Or, are you paying an additional $800 - $900 to squeeze out that last 5% of performance?

GREAT question. Sounds like the start of a 300 post thread!
