Considering upgrading front and rear suspension on the 954. Is the cost/benefit worth it? Was thinking race tech springs and valves for the front and Penske or Ohlins for the rear.

from what I hear racetech sucks!! im not sure why but nobody uses them..
the upgrade is well worth it..I do it to all my bikes,I cant ride a bike with stock suspension after riding my bikes with the suspention work..

I have grabbed up an Öhlins rear & if course my front is now desperately in need of an upgrade & no one will answer my repeated questions about doing this,
I know sTuna sent his off, did you do it your self?
Is it pretty straight forward or is it worth $200 to have it set up?
$200 seem pretty cheep I didnt get from them what guts that includes.
I know sTuna paid more than that.
