·I installed my RaceTech Rebuilt Showas (early type) yesterday.
They were spares I picked up on eBay a while back that I sent out last month for the full work-up (after my slapping highside I decided to stop ignoring how weak the front end was)
They did the seals, bushings, gold valves and proper springs for my carcass weight and a black hard anodyze on the uppers.
WOW
, first there's no more diving when I grab a handful of the front 4 pad, narrow band brakes.
Super slick action/stiction. The anodyze job came out beautifully. The bike has considerably "tightened up" in that the sliders are damping and rebounding properly....when I got on the throttle, the fork tube extended travel wasn't as exaggerated as was the case with the (old 20k miles) original stock tubes.
The new tubes ingested the bumps in the road surface gracefully and yet managed to provide an excellent sense of "feel" at the same time. Not the sloppy wallowing I had before....
