Traxxion Dynamics suspension on my Valk
Valker:
After 26 years and a quarter million miles I had my forks completely gutted and rebuilt with their cartridges and added a set of YSS shocks. I just got the bike back together and took it for a 35 mile test ride over very familiar roads. Tremendous difference in the ride quality and handling. Very expensive, but well worth it to me. It's like a new bike. It's the best addition I've done.

"Tremendous difference in the ride quality and handling."
so what does this mean exactly? or does it just let you ride a 750lb motorcycle faster than before?
I run progressive springs played with fork fluid type, weight and level and installed I/S shocks on my std with I/S tank, triple clamps and saddle bags.
reducing the trail number via the I/S triple clamps, smaller 130/90-17 and taller C/T 205/65-16 great enhanced the responsiveness, of the bike. reducing the trail number makes the biggest difference.

I tried a lot of those same things except for the Interstate triple clamps. Yes, it is much more stable in corners, yes, I can ride them faster. The ride thing feels like the sharp edges on bumps have now been rounded off. It rode like an old one ton pickup to me, now it feels more like a newer F-150 King Ranch. I also own some ST1300s which have always ridden smoother and handled better than the Valks. The new suspension makes the Valk handle as well as or better than the ST and almost equals the ride quality. :cooldude:

yep using 7.5 wt fork oil did that for me.
