    im riding a 2011 street bob, i dont like the way the front end works! im not sure what weight the oil is in there yet, as putn a thicker oil in could improve it, but i dont think that would be good enuff. Iv heard of the racetec gold valves or the works fork kit that can be installed which im hoping will solve the problem,,i know they are both probably really good....i want to know which set up is beta?? what are your experiances with either of these set ups? any advice will be appreciated.

    i just go Race Tech springs & fork oil Bey-Ray, as the stock springs are shit,  way too much  low rate in their dual rate spring, if you wan't too go 1 step & more  & bucks Goldvalves  also , i also air cap the fork caps  on top,

    Intiminators have a very happy following, easy install as well (41 and 49 mm forks), they would be the first mod I would do to a new bike before anything else except maybe the brake pads. Do a search even if it is only on this site and most of the different setups are covered somewhere.
