Default Race Tech front suspension help

Hey from Oz,

Ordered a set of Shotgun Shocks to be installed on my 09 Night Train in the near future and have been looking around for a front suspension kit to match.

After a bit of reading looks like the Race Tech front suspension kit with springs and gold valve emulators seem to be the go.

Just wondering if anyone knows where i can find parts number, or info on this kit for an 09 Softail. Also i noticed that you may have to match the kit with your body weight. So what would i need to suit 220lbs.

Done a fair bit of searching just can't pin point the exact kit needed.

Cheers.

NT

You might need to contact Race Tech. IIRC you might be the heavyer kit, first one is for people under 200 lbs or so I think.

I plan to later do a 1" drop in front with that same Race Tech kit.

Also check out the intiminators. I can't remember who makes them, but supposedly they are better than the race tech gold valve emulators.

Well, finally figured out how to access there spring calculator on there site, and found i need 1kg/mm kit to suit. But there list of softails that it fits on stops at 05. Don't know if thats just cause he hasn't updated site.

Becoming a pain in the *** finding info on these springs.

Thinking might be faster if i give Race Tech a call some time tonight see what they got.

Found the .95kg/mm kit, but can't find the complete kit for a 1kg/mm.
