Ricor Racing- Intiminator

I saw a post in the Dyna section about Ricor Racings Intiminator. I like my bike to "work". Up here in B.C. potholes, frost heaves and cracks in the road are a given. I thought I would give these a try. Well, ordered a set and installed in my forks and WOW. I have gone for a ride and these are a great investment. Aimed for manhole covers, cracks in the pavement and railroad tracks. The front end works so well you do not feel anything in the bars. Nice to install something that you can actually feel the difference. Thanks and a big "well done" to Brian @ Ricor. Now lets fix the rear shocks. Russel

I can fix my bike but can't attach a link.

but wanted to confirm if your install was just the Intiminators and changing the oil to 5wt. Thanks

If you have the time could you PM Twinrider (Jim) and or let him know on the forum what you did to install them? He is in Japan and is gettind really HIGH quotes from the Harley Dealer there on installing them... basically the same as just changing the fork oil for routine maintenance he is getting a quote of 500 bucks. Way to much but perhaps that is what they get for a front fork oil change in Japan. He said his ride has drain plugs but the dealer is saying you can not get all the oil out that way.. Hell a little does not hurt. Anyway I believe you two have the same ride and I know he would appreicate any feedback on your install you could provide. He ordered a Harley Service Manual and is going to try and do it himself (which I know is dooable) but some first hand information would help him a lot if you did your own install
.... thanks

We have already pm'd back and forth. Glad he's ordered the manual. He's got '09RK so it's a little different. The '07 RK's don't have any damper valves in there now, so if the 09's are the same I think he will notice even more of an improvement than I did.
