Race Tech springs and valves

I had the race tech gold valves installed last winter in my 2002 B-12-S. Oh man what an improvement. No more chattering in the front end under hard cornering. I did seem to be getting alot of spring movement even with the pre load set to max. I was getting aprox 3" of travel by just shutting down the gas and applying the brakes. I just had the heavy race tech springs installed. Now the bandit is purfict.  I get half or less the movement under braking that I did befor but the rides not harsh at all. I did pipe and jet the bandit shortly after I got it. I'd say now the bike handles as good as it runs. :msm:

I also installed RT gold vales and springs. That along with a Works Performance shock, My Bandit handels and tracks very well for a 500lb. motorcycle. I ride her hard too, I take it to the track as often as I can afford.
