Been Working on Something

[dmulk]

I did a set of RT Gold emulators on my KLR and WOW! What a difference.....

I'll probably not need them for the ST as my riding style isn't very aggressive and I don't feel like I have any handling issues....

That said, it's always nice to see the efforts of one person done in a way to benefit the group. Thanks for taking the time Rob!

Cheers!

So when can we expect this to become available Rob?

I hope this year. LOL

I'm at the mercy of the AMA testing, so we roll as we roll so to speak.

Any idea what the price range might be?

Any idea what the price range might be?

The first way would be less than $1000 I think, the other would be more.

That is an awesome kit, the kit we are talking about here is below that price.

Then there will be another kit and it addresses the only issue I have with the Traxxion Kit.

Rob:

What issue do you have with the Traxxion kit? Just curious?

Start here -

If you do not see your bike on the list all you need to do is send your forks in and we can custom build you a set in about 2 weeks.

Start where??? Is there a Missing Link???

The words after 'Start here -' are from traxxion

 

[jnsgardner]

OK, I got that part. I went to the Traxxion site and the STeed wasn't listed...so, if I wanted the Traxxion unit, I'd send my forks in and wait for two weeks.

BUT, Rob is working with another outfit and believes that their final product will be superior to the Traxxion's. The reason he's telling us about his work is to give us a preview of coming attractions... a FYI as it were.

or am I still missing something... it is late.

Perhaps it is late. I think Rob was just saying the two week wait was one issue he had with traxxion. I suppose the kit he is working on developing will be off the shelf. But then I am still waiting after about 4 weeks for some raceteck valves for both sides of my ST11 forks to turn up. They are not listed as an off the shelf item, so if Rob can get the ST13 on the list he will be doing well.

 

[Rob Hephner]

Yea, personally I like to buy things that are listed as a product and that I can buy and install myself if I want.

+1. I like doing my own work.

 

[Rob Hephner]

Hey, if he can make springs, gold valves, fork oil and sell it all for $200...more power to him.

 

[Rob Hephner]

Yeah! Today this journey was complete for me!!

We are patiently waiting for a ride report.

Very clean looking product on the bike. :yes:

 

[Dex]

and.....?

 

[Rob Hephner]

Well, it just works. I switched out the rear for a Race Tech spring as well and the bike does what it should.

If I add weight or a passenger I can quickly dial in the difference and the bike performs exactly as it does with just me.

And now of course I've been contact by another company....

 

[Tankereng]

way cool...

I second the table comment! I noticed that before the part. Little blood and grease please, this hurts my head!!
