Ricor Intiminators
I am getting some Progressive Drop'ins to lower my front by 2 inches and been reading about the Ricor intiminators, I spoke to my Indy who knows nothing about them, which is no real surprise, in fact he was quite sceptical abou them and questioning their ability to do what they say.
Can you guys give me some real unbiased feedback on them?
do they make a real difference?, just honest opinions from the your experiences.

I have them with progressive springs , work great. If you drop your front end ,don't you lose that much travel? Not sure if that's the case or not. But if you shorten your spring travel what's the point. Like I said not sure how dropping the front affects spring travel.

I installed the progressive drop ins and the Intiminators last fall. Since then I have only had the bike out once, but huge improvement. Much smoother and no brake dive. Need more miles to give a more in depth review, but I think the drop ins and Intiminators are a good combo
So far so good. I installed them with my progressive 2" drop kit this winter. The front end rides pretty good, though the only comparison i have is to stock ride since I never rode the 2" drop without them. There is noticeably less brake dive, and even though a bit harsh due to the drop, it seems to soak up most bumps pretty well. They are basically an inertia valve system similar to what is in every car and truck shock out there. Just make sure you use the regular fork oil, the heavy stuff won't work as well with them.

Thanks guys, Stone... I contacted the Ricor site direct and asked them about forum discount, but was told they were discounted to everyone at way below what the forum saving would have given me. $180
