That's one thing I've decided to invest in with my '09. Respring and valve the front forks and get a nice rear shock. I'm not progressing anymore and I think retuning my suspension and take a class or two should keep me going. Good mod, for sure!

Probably true.

Definately true.

While this is true, you clearly don't have a clue about good suspension components.

im just saying that funds could have been allocated more efficiantly to get the overall goal. There are other suspension options out there, much cheaper, that would produce the same general effect he's looking for. shiney toys dont win races.

his money though, so i'll stand over here w/ the rest of you jealous cunts.

Seems to be a common thread in many of his posts.

What is the overall goal?

Is racing is the order of the day, finishing as close the the front is the only goal that really matters.

If the TTX will help him accomplish that, it is money well spent.

The 2009 season kicks off in either Feb or March. How many trackdays can one expect to get in in that time?

suspension is never wasted money. If you want to race or really improve your lap times, that's probably the first mod you should do to your bike before exhausts and all that other stuff.
