Also, and I may have missed this, what was the approximate cost of the replacement forks?$438/side, $872 for the whole setup. Probably a few fasteners, fork oil, etcetera as well. Figure $1000.
As to the kits such as Racetech etc., the SDBV fork is a whole 'nother animal. A kit installed in the old forks will improve things but it's like a bandaid.
The new fork is a new, well-integrated system so well worth the money if one is really serious about a HUGE improvement.
But the kits can be had for about half that money and are pretty good.

Just seen this thread and looks like a bargain to me. I make it about the same price as the Andreani's cost me.
That said, in the UK the Duel Benders cost a lot more... but not as much as an original pair of Showa' would cost. About 2/3rds cheeper. They may be better but looks like they are cheeper to produce as well... win, win, win.
I'm not sure how the SDBVs feel but from reviews I've read and from what Power Dubs says, they sound like a good option for the road. The Andreani set up can still be a bit harsh on slow bumpy roads but at high speed and on track they are very, very good.
What do you have on your bike Ulvetanna?
