[QUOTE="DaJudge, post: 1271117, member: 17019"] No doubt the AK-20 cartridge kit (or the GP 25mm cartridge kit) would be the best in FJR front end sweetness. Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to drop $1100+ into upgrading my forks (which would mean over $2K into the overall suspension package). Let's say that I decide to pursue stiffer/linear springs and re-valving (if possible) using the one-sided factory '13 forks. I looked at the factory service manual which shows, of course, that only the right fork has the damper adjusting rod/valve/spring. That being so, what's inside the left fork damper assembly? Are there any internal parts, like non-adjustable compression/rebound valving, in there that can be upgraded? Is the left fork essentially a pogo stick with some oil inside for lube and rust prevention? Not surprisingly, the service manual gives no clue. Has anyone been down this upgrade road? [/QUOTE]
