About to order the '17 dual bending valve forks for my '14

Found your thread... This is pretty interesting. Did the mod change the amount of dive under braking? 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.

Nobody ever saved money by buying a motorcycle.

Nothing needed other than the forks.

Here is my receipt.




And I sold my stock forks for hundreds of dollars.

Nice work Josh. Look forward to hearing how they work out.

Not much to say- mission accomplished- they look more period correct for my bike and are definitely more comfortable (less jarring on impacts).

Now if you painted them black they'd match the bike.....

Gross.

Classic old bikes had silver forks...so then has mine.

Still loving these forks. Bumping the post for others that may not be aware they exist.

At least 2 other people have put them on after me- and I think they like the improvement in comfort as well.

Like is an understatement, I love them

I also love these 2017 forks on my 2014 , whish I could put them also on my 2013 ABS but they will not fit because 3 pot calipers.
