Anyone order and place these on a 2006 street glide or compatable bike. I have got ahold of a of a couple of distributers and have gotten differnt part number from each. FEGU-S3802 and FLEG-S41095 (found out this has a lowering kit along with the emulators). I am not really interested in lowering the front. I am big guy and would need to go with HD springs. I am not sure if the 2006 street glide comes with both damper or one of them already cartridged based.
Any help out there who could help me with the right part numbers for this bike. I don't trust some of the information I am getting.

Thank you

 

I have a buddy out in the Washington/Oregon area that just installed them on his 01 Ultra and he now swears by them. Don't know what part number that he used. called him and asked and he threw the box away.

 

i have them in my 06 SG..you have two identical sliders, no cartridge...the lowering spring replaces the stock 1" top out spring and you can elect to not use it....it also comes with its own main spring....you will havta cut the spacer yourself...the spacer length determines the preload on the spring....directions are clear....it makes a huge difference in how the front end tracks....the wheel feels glued to the road now...i highly recommend this upgrade....use 30wt fork oil...its also not a hard installation either...youre gonna love it

 

Ever feel like your getting the runaround. I have been reference my third part number by drag specialties. Say it is on page 909 on their 2007 catalog. Say I should be using 94-07 FLHR model. That may be true but the parts number available do not match up to the other two distributors gave me. maybe their is a rep out there or more guys who have done this who have part numbers,

 

I installed the 3802 kit in the legs of my '05 RKC. I had RaceTech confirm that this was the correct kit for my bike.
My RK does not have a cartridge in either leg. I had to modify both damper tubes to put in the Gold Valves. (needed to drill 2 additional holes of the same diameter as the 4 in each original tube; all straight forward in the instructions.
Don't all the '06 Touring bikes share the same fork internals as my RK? Wouldn't you want the 3802 kit? I would also think that some of the Part # confusion may lie with Drag Specialties having their OWN Part # for the RT kit.
I did not want to lower my bike either.
I think I used Belray 15 wt. fork oil and I went with RaceTech's own custom springs for my weight. (you perform a simple calculation on their website to determine the correct spring rate for your weight) They come in certain increments so I covered all the bases from a rider weight of roughly 190 lbs up to 200ish.
The custom springs are slightly shorter than the HD springs that came out, but that was made up by adding a length of spacer tube from the kit. When it came time to thread the fork tube caps on, the new springs ( + spacer) extended the same distance out of the top of the legs as the longer stock HD springs with the legs extended. (same amount of preload as stock)

The Gold Valves made an unbelievable difference. I'll try to link you to a couple of pics of the legs showing the order everything went together. CN

And I setup the Gold Valves by adding about 1/4 turn more damping than what they came with. There is an adjustment on each of them where clockwise increases their restriction to oil flow. (increasing the compression damping, if I recall correctly....anyway, the instructions will tell you)

 

Go to their website. You can E-mail them from there. I recall I had a response from two questions I had right from Paul himself.
I think you use the addy for Tech Support.
I ordered directly from RaceTech....I didn't bother using a middleman like DS or DK..
I recall the pair of springs were about $100...the Gold Valve kit about $249.

Thanks so much for all your input. It continue to confuse me, but you did help knowing now Drag Speciality uses a different part numberthan Race Tech.I wishI knew how it mapped asI was hoping to go out there and get it cheaper other than paying more directly from Race Tech. But you cannot beleive the different part # andviews I am getting.
Race Tech tells me I need a FLEG S41095 (after there Sales told me something else). I do not know if that comes with a spring or not. Cannot tell by the Web-site and have an e-mail into them. I did check and know I need a customize 1.0 Kg spring.
Karl(kdietz) indicates to me via PM the FLEK S3895 gives you the heaviest Spring, damper and emulators and this what is needed for an o6. So you can see my problem. Alot of different part numbers. After talking to Race Tech I am concerned if the people there know what going on. Drag specialties doesn't match anyone's and as you said has differnt part #.

 

Just to confuse you more.....

I replaced the RaceTech springs with springs from Progressive Suspension.......the Race Tech springs seemed a bit "soft" and clunked on sharper low speed impacts. Riding on rails now.

You can buy the Gold Valve Kit without the Race Tech Springs and substitute your favorite springs.

Choke is right.....the Gold Valve kit and the fork springs are different items. (for my purchase) I bought them seperately, both through RaceTech.
I would trust Karl though....if he says you can buy the springs and Gold Valves together, then who am I to argue. I just say GET THE CORRECT SPRINGS...you'll have the whole shootin' match apart anyway, no point dropping in springs that won't get the job done.

I also had issues with the sales folks at RaceTech, initially. It was clear to me the first guy I conversed with had NO business answering questions from potential customers. (oh....they are real easy to install, just take the caps off the top of the forks and just drop 'em in.....YEAH RIGHT!!!)

Try removing your front brake calipers, front wheel, dismantle the nacelle on the front of your RK, remove the fork legs and strip them down.
Modify the damper tubes in each leg, re-assemble the legs, (with new internal HD parts I purchased beforehand rather than re-using what was in there upon disassembly, add fork oil to the correct depth from the top of the fork tubes (after determining the correct spacer length for correct pre-load if using custom springs) drop in the Gold Valves and springs.(stock or otherwise) If you use the custom springs, drop in the 1st washer after springs, add the cut spacer tube, add 2nd washer, thread on the fork leg caps, (quite a feat on it's own) re-mount the fork legs onto the triple tree, re-assemble the headlamp nacelle, and put the front brake calipers and front wheel back on again. NOT QUITE THE SAME AS " JUST DROP 'EM IN" in my mind.

Actually, the install is fairly simple really. I recall I took 4 1/2 hours from start to finish, taking my sweet a** time, but I had access to every tool I could ever have wanted.

In addition, the custom springs ended up being back ordered and they were prepared to send JUST the emulators to me with the springs to follow. I killed that saying that the emulators were of NO use to me without the springs, so wait 'til the springs show and send me everything at once,...never mind the extra shipping $$$ it would have cost.(on me) I also asked to be E-mailed the day the order shipped. They didn't, so the order arrived unexpected.
Then I had the opportunity to talk to THE MAN, Paul Thede. This is who you want to talk to. Mr. RaceTech himself. No problems after that.

My front forks work awesome now!!! Frankly, they expose the weaknesses of my rear suspension ...and it is NO slouch either.
I have Works shocks and Accu-Track and it is light years ahead of what came from the MOCO.

Race Tech needs to update their website beyond '05 bikes.....they don't know that '06 FLHxxx changed back to 2 dampers....the correct complete kit for 2 dampers (no cartridges), springs and gold emulators is the FLEK S38xx.....the xx is the spring rating.....95 is recommended for FLHxxx's......in other words FLEK S3895.....add 20wt fork oil, new fork seals and you're done

Bryan and I both have this kit installed in our '06 bikes.....one of the very best mods we've made to our bikes

I bought mine from a ebay store seller for $237 +/- sales@moto-services.net
