SO, you selling it or modding it? :confused2:
I'm in the same boat, about the suspension. I'll have to keep my eye on this thread...

Traxxion is good, they do AMA and WERA racers, Dan Kyle is also very good. I've also used Lindemann Engineering and have had nothing but great results with them. On my 05 I have an Ohlins rear revalved to work with the 06/07 link, and have Ohlins 1.0 springs in the front. That has really helped a lot. The 06/07s have better front springs but IMO the Ohlins springs are a lot better. The stock ones are still a bit too soft.
The stock forks revalved and re-sprung work a lot better than stock, they're just not as adjustable and responsive as Ohlins. But unless you're doing a lot of racing, the worked stockers will be just fine IMO.

Well If I get the forks done im gonna pick up a spare set off ebay to put on the bike and keep the ones i get done to trasplant on the 51. That way I will also have radial mount brakes.

I just bought a set for $50. They're out there no problem. Just remember to get a radial master cylinder if you do the upgrade to the 51.
