Get the Ricor intiminators instead. Pop em in with the recommend oil and you will be good to go. I just put some in my bike and they rock! It is a night and day difference on front end handling.

I have put Racetech goldvalves in two different bikes. They do make a great improvement. Match them with their springs for a much better improvement especially if you follow their recommendations for fork oil weight.

Good input. I put the gold valves in last season along with the Racetech springs and was quite impressed. Other FLH owners who rode my scoot were also impressed. This winter I replaced my rear shocks with Progressive 440s. I am even more impressed with the Racetech front end now that the rear has settled down. Do both ends of the bike as soon as you can.

lowered the front end on my FLHX with the racetech spring / gold valve setup and it was a BIG difference in how my bike handled, worth every penny.. Not willing to leave well enough alone I am putting the progressive cartridges up front with progressive 940's in the back and the progressive touring link this weekend.. Hopefully I get my VelvaGlide motor mount by then as well... Should be like a whole new bike
