I'm getting ready to upgrade my fork springs to a set of racetechs and was wondering if the valve assembly in the forks are adjustable or if I would need to buy a gold valve for adjustability also looking for recommendations on oil weight

Buy the gold valve

Not adjustable, unless you know exactly what combination stack of shims to use (assuming that’s the technology used). Even you did know I don’t think you can buy them anywhere. Gold valve for the win.
The gold valve I installed on my 1300 was not adjustable beyond selecting the shims before assembling and installing the valve. I know the 1100 is different, but don't know if you have the capability to adjust damping after the forks are assembled.

AFAIK, no ability to adjust after assembly on the ST1100 - unless you disassemble the forks to do it ...
