Default Race Tech G3-S shocks

These are custom valved made to order shocks from Race Tech. Has anyone tried them?

I have raced dirt bikes since 13 (now 52) and have a hard time getting my mind around a $1400- $1500 Ohlins shock in the back and an emulator or cartridge in the front. If I was going with a full top end race shock(s) in the back, I would want inverted forks in the front. Also we ride 800 lb. touring bikes with low ground clearance, so really how good can these things handle anyway?

I am thinking emulators front and race tech (non reservoir) custom built shocks for the back, about $1000 total.

Thanks guys!

You would be surprised how well these baggers handle with a proper setup including emulators and 13"+ rear shocks...

Also Ricor Intiminators are better than the race tech emulators...
