Ive got to rebuild my front forks. Im pushing the front real bad now and ive got to get it at the very least revalved. Id like some traxxion internals or something like that but i just cant swing the money right now. anybody have some parts laying around on the shelf that could help me dial in these forks better than stock? At the very least ill buy the race tech valves and do that but i was hoping for something better.
Thanks :thumbsup:

sounds like your forks are OK
you just need the good guts right?
my extra is stock
I bought Daves extra & he took it down to Erion
& they worked their magic
& I paid way too much, but I made the outside pretty too
I saw that you can do it for pretty cheep
whats the cheapest one can do it themselves for?
I'm guessing 2-300?

I am talking to this guy w/ all the motor shit tommorrw
I think he may have some Ohlins for the 54
I would almost rather he not have them
I spent like $1200 on mine

Yea im just looking for the internals. My forks are in real good shape. Not that if i could find a good set that was already done by traxxion or something that wouldnt be a consideration. I even thought about buying a whole front end off of a 1k with radial brakes and putting it on. Even thought of the Showa from a duck but i dont think theyll fit without buying rim and all.
I can revalve for about 100 bucks using the Racetech valves. This will give me what i need for right now but I was hoping for something better for Jennings. Ohlins is boss but Traxxion Dynamics is just as good for a lot less and there is a lot of people out there that do just as good as well. I just know im headed for another lowside if I dont get these things taken care of and i dont want to wash the front at Jennings.
Anyway anything would be appriciated but if not thats ok ill buy the racetech and do them.
Thanks:thumbsup:

Yea what im really wanting is http://www.traxxion.com/Axxion%20Cartridge%20(AK-20)/Axxion%20Cartridges.htm
but that will have to wait until we get the finances taken care of. The dampening is just all off and its just not working as good as it needs too. Lower speeds it does just fine but right about when the knee is touching down you can start to feel it pushing. Ive actually had it push so hard that the tire was squalling and my brother swears that he saw smoke comming off of it one time but we were really hammering on it that day.
Ok thanks guys ill give brad a call on the way home and see if he has any suggestions other than racetech. Oh and flight that is just parts and me doing the labor. Traxxion wants a grand for what you see in the pic. And yea it probably was well worth the money you spent. Id love to have your forks. :thumbsup:

I know id love to have them under my bike but thats the way it goes.
Brad can get the traxxion cartridge inserts shipped to my door for $846.00. This comes with everything you need to do the job including the oil. The springs are matched to your bike and weight so theres no guessing. This is what im going to gun for so ill be saving up my pennies.
