The complete fork upgrade kit - Race Tech springs and emulators. Also includes a set of top quality fork seals and fork oil to complete the job. Everything you need to transform your mushy stock forks into suspension that really works.
Precision tolerances – The tightest in the industry. Ultra-lightweight, for reduced unsprung mass. Straight rate springs will give better control in the rough stuff. Sold in pairs.
The Cogent Dynamics DDC valves are the most cost-effective upgrade you can make to your motorcycle’s forks. Unique and the first of its kind, a DDC kit is available to upgrade many motorcycles that are originally equipped with simple damper rod type forks as front suspension.
We do recommend stiffer than stock front springs to bring the full potential of the DDCs out. Up to about 200 pounds (rider with gear on) we recommend the .85 kg/mm springs. If you are above 200 pounds (rider with gear on) you should probably go with the 1.0 kg/mm springs.
Damping Rod style forks are notorious for being too harsh, too mushy and too easy to bottom. Gold Valve Cartridge Emulators remedy this problem by controlling the compression damping with a tuneable valve. The Emulator sits on top of the damping rod and is held in place by the main spring.
Simply put; Emulators make damping rod forks perform like well-tuned cartridge forks. Installation and tuning for any condition or rider preference is very straight-forward.
Simple to install and completely tunable for all conditions and rider preferences.
*Comes with RaceTech adapter to properly seat the Gold Valve cartridge into to the top of the damper rod.
Patented fork seal features a balanced 3 lip design that evenly distributes the pressure reducing operating temperature, wear and friction
Custom Elastomer Fork Seals have been tested to outlast OEM fork seals. Extends typical seal life by 3 to 5 times over OEM seals
Stiction (friction) measures from 1/3 to 1/2 less than OEM seals for smoother fork action
Lower Stiction, Longer Life! It doesn’t get any better than this!
Plus, the only complete line of dust wipers! Wipers should be replaced with the fork seals to assure peak performance.
Kit includes Fork Seals and dust wipers.
Helps protect vulnerable fork tube and seal from dust, dirt, and corrosive elements. Hook & loop (Velcro) fastening on back side makes installation or removal for cleaning a breeze.
Cogent Dynamics has created another winner - the 'World's Edge' shock for the 650 V-Strom the rear end you have wanted for all these years. This unit gives the DL650 excellent control with a firm but comfortable ride, both solo and two-up. This shock is equipped with adjustable damping control so you can customize the action to your preference. Please call for lowering options also if you need them.
The Bling Ring preload adjuster and thrust bearing on the spring make preload changes easy when you fill the bags and add a copilot. Keeping the ride height up can make the difference between a good handling motorcycle and a peg scraping pig. Want to make it easier yet? Add a Hydraulic Preload Adjuster like the stock shock has.
Includes mounting bracket.
Bikes with ABS require the hydraulic preload adjuster
Adapters are required for this spring
The V-Strom suffers from poor compression damping and limp rebound damping. The Race Tech Gold Valve allows you to tune both compression and rebound valving for vastly improved performance.
This adapter set is required to fit an aftermarket spring to the Vstrom shock
Billet aluminum lowering links. Lowers the rear suspension.
Disclaimer: Lowering the front and/or rear of your motorcycle will change the geometry and may affect the handling, use caution after making changes/adjustments.
Adjustable lowering links by PSR. Adjusts the rear suspension from stock height to 4 inches lower.
Based on the wildly popular Race Tech Suspension Seminars taught by Paul Thede around the world, this step-by-step guide shows riders how to make their bikes handle like the pros. Thede gives the lowdown on all types of suspension, including cartridge and non-cartridge forks as well as dual-chamber and nitrogen-charged shocks.
The three forces of suspension, testing procedures, even the black arts of chassis geometry: This explains it all. The book provides step-by-step photos of suspension disassembly and assembly as well as a detailed troubleshooting guide for dirt, street and track.
Use this installation tool from Cogent to be sure that your Cogent Drop-in Dynamic Cartridges are installed correctly. A strong magnet in the end holds the cartridge firmly while you lower it into your fork leg. Then slide the spring over the tool until it holds the DDC down, then gently remove the tool. That simple. Never again question if it is properly seated on the damper rod.
Works equally well for removal when you need to change your fork oil. Also works great with Race Tech Emulators.
Showa removed the schrader valve on many newer rear shocks. Now you need a needle to recharge your shock with nitrogen after a rebuild. Race Tech built this unit just for that job.
The features of this tool include 300 psi capacity, bleeder valve and T-handle plunger pin chuck. Swivel chuck has a 12" flexible hose. Comes complete with instructions, carrying box and Schrader valve extension (required on some Showa shocks). Nitrogen bottles available at any welding supply house.
