Front fork and shock again
09/20/20 6:08 AM

Hi guys, long time since I wrote here...but still my fav site when it comes to my bike. My old 2007 is going to have a real overhaul this winter, I still like my old (black fat pig) bike and after 8 years it still look fearly nice. I did the forks 4 years ago, with new springs from Ktech (1kg/mm(560/lb/" ???)and and selfmixture of oil try to find a stable 6wt and a small overfill to keep bottoming away.. and I change oil every year..anyway,..due to covid 19 I decided to keep my bike..instead of buying and spending to much hard earned $ or krones that we have here... The big issue is the front...on a budget...Ktech have a nice set of pistons and control valves for a good price...vs a cartridge from a supplier a little less expensive then Ohlins...like Mupo, Nitron, FG Gubbelini or Matris...what do you guys think ?..Try the pistons and valves ? Or a new cartridge if I can get one ...The rear shock is good whatever brand I buy...since I do not track at all... Only like really strange roads from time to time..Romania, Slovenia and Balkan can be a challenge...Even backroads here in Norway.. A good advice from fellow riders is welcome

I had my forks revalved with Race Tech cartridges and springs. Also had the stock rear shock revalved.
Massive improvement over stock, but still nowhere as good as Ohlins.

Ok, so revalving give a good result..I know the original valves is quite good....
This is the set I har in mind since I already have Ktech springs..
