For the rear shock theres Maxton or Wilbers, theres a couple of people on here that have had the wilbers.
KTech will revalve for £130 - much nicer feel to it

I've been going through all these threads and am keen to do something to my SDR. Worked really bloody hard to set up the current equipment and got it just OK but on the track it was still so twitchy on the track and has lost my confidence at high speed. So, I'm considering the Nichols Triple and some drastic action for the suspension. Reckon I might splash the ch on a Maxton and revolve the forks. But not entirely sure where to go in and around New York city.
Been trying to get Penske to confirm cost for the shock and will have to send or bring the forks to them to see what they can do with them.

Shocks they've confirmed they can do. I'll call them tomorrow and see where we stand.

I can help you with the install if needed, I've done the Nichols upper triple, but to be honest have not slid the tubes down so I cannot vouch for the effect on handling that all who have done the mod.
I like the look of the Penske products. Which model have you been looking at? Hopefully will do this before spring kicks in properly, so I'm hoping they get back to you soon Thanks for the offer of help- I may take you up on that! Where in NJ are you? Wife and I are thinking of moving to the other side of the water.
