RACE TECH FORK GOLD VALVE KITS FOR SHOWA BPF
Price: $299.99
Phone: 951.279.6655
Website: racetech.com
Race Tech's newest Fork Gold Valve Kits are for the Showa
BPF forks found on the 2011 Kawasaki ZX-10R, HarleyDavidson XR1200, and Suzuki GSX-R600. The stock BPF
design has an oversized, yet very restrictive singular piston,
which means it flows more than 10 times the fluid of a standard cartridge. Race Tech says that this creates harshness
and contributes to fork chatter during braking, but Race
Tech also says its new Gold Valve Kit improves the flow
characteristics of the BPF dramatically, and can increase
both travel and front-end trail.
