Trying to decide on what to do with some spring funds this year. I'll either be getting a new lens for my camera or getting some parts for the RC.
Assuming I'll be buying RC stuff, I'm trying to decide what is the best option for me. If I go with the Kyle racing 20mm kit, I'm at about $700. Or, I can buy the kit and new springs, seals, and spacers, plus the oil and all the tools. As I have never done front shocks before, it would be a learning experience. On top of that, I would then have most tools required to service my own forks, and would then be able to do seal replacements, oil changes, and other maintenance needs in the future. However, I would lose out on the spring modification and polishing described on the Kyle page.
I'm wondering what approach you guys would take? FWIW, never done a track day and don't plan to. I ride the bike to and from work and the occasional hour or two on weekends and when time allows in the summer. I live in Cleveland so the riding season is short to begin with.
