Front Suspension Setup Help
Working on completing my bike before it gets nice enough to ride consistently hear in a month or so. Have been working on upgrading multiple aspects and suspension being one of them. Not looking to spend a ton of money to upgrade my suspension but just looking for a overall tighter and more comfortable ride. I just got done installing 13" Progressive 444 and have been pretty happy so far with them. Would have loved some really nice Ohlins but can't justify spending $1200 on some good Ohlins. I got 444's brand new for $410 so about $250 cheaper than works. I am wanting to do a budget upgrades to the front end. Here is my thoughts:
-Progressive Std Fork Springs - $65 -Amsoil Shock Therapy Oil - Not sure of weight looking at 10 or 15??? -SM or RSD Preload Adjusters - $150 -Fork Brace - looking at super brace or others. Can I use Ricor Intiminators with this setup? Are they worth it? Looking for help choosing some parts for the front end but on a budget. Can't afford $900 for a K-Tech cartridge kit. I wish someone made a affordable budget cartridge kit. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.hdf...4b9e0560f.jpeg |
I did the racetech springs and Intiminators nice upgrade much improved ride. Installation is pretty easy.
|
Is there much setup with the Intiminators? I really don't know a ton about them. What weight oil did you go with
|
10wt there is tuning with the racetech but you need to take them out to do so.
|
For another $100 or so you could have gone with Hagon Nitros. All good.Anything is better than stock imo.
|
I'm interested in this as well. There are so many threads on forks and shocks that it gets confusing.

Here's a great thread on a front end upgrade on a budget. This to date has been one of my best mods, I keep wanting to get a cartridge kit but the bike feels so good and grabs the road and bumps so confidently I can't really justify $1k on a cartridge kit when this setup cost around $500. It's turned into a long thread but there's a ton of really great info in there
