OK, so I was looking at downsizing to a 650 or something and nothing panned out (yet), so I decided that if I hung onto my 2008 ST1300A I would overhaul the suspension this winter because I've never had confidence in the handling of the front end... way too wobbly over bumps and in turns over uneven road. My bike has never felt "planted" to me no matter how things are dialed in. So, it's time for an overhaul...
I'm planning on forks, rear shock and All Balls bearings. I weigh about 165# with my gear on and ride 95% solo. I am an average rider and have never scraped a peg. I enjoy spirited riding but have no desire to push the limits. Race Tech is a fore-runner at this time but I'm always open to options. I will be reading a lot of posts on suspension as well. I am wondering what order should things be done? How long should it take a mechanically capable person for each aspect? What say the masses who have gone this same path? Cost is not really a concern, but I also like to get the most bang for my buck... Thanks!
