Default Upgrading FXDWG Fork Internals

Well, I'm tearing down my forks for powdercoat in the next couple of weeks and I figure I may as well upgrade my springs while I'm at it. Anyone have any recommendations? I'm thinking Ricor Intiminators with Traxxion springs...

I'd love to go Ohlins, but I just can't swing that kinda money right now. So, with that in mind, please keep the price reasonable. Thanks

The itiminators and amsoil fork therapy oil make for a huge improvement. I'm running the stock springs and have no plans to change them. For me, it is just right like it is.

Make sure you have the right tool to take the bolt out of the bottom of the forks. It is a 12mm hex and takes an impact to break it loose. I just cut off a 12 allen, stuck it in a 12mm socket and zipped it right out.

I'm putting together a FLSTC front end for my FXD & plan to do Racetech Gold Valve cartridge emulators & either their .95kg or 1.0kg springs.

How about the Racetech Gold Valve Cartridge Emulators? Does anyone have any comparison experience between that set up and the Intiminator set up I mentioned before? Pros and cons?
