RE: Race Tech Fork Springs
LOL yep, expensive little boogers but made from premium rubber. I have had a set on a bike for 13 years now and they are still in good shape. Others who have gone the cheaper, $30 aftermarket route, have had issues with their bellows splitting in as little as 6 months. It's not a difficult job to install them, but I still wouldn't want to be doing it twice a year, when the Kawi ones will last a decade or more. They also FIT snuggly around the lower fork leg without cutting V's in them and then using wire ties to then tighten them up.

I find your lack of RLETs disturbing

My first set of cheap gaiters were trash in 6 months. Be smart and pay up front for the Kawi gaiters.

I recommend IKON for the rear. (RED springs are faster Cool )

Even though it says 10-11 for the year, these will fit the 13-14 USA spec CB1100.

Best to call them and discuss exactly what your needs are. IKON can provide any combination of body, spring and cover.
