sonic or progressive fork springs and what weight fork oil

[GSXR7ED]

I've been told you don't need the emulators...but don't hold that against me.

I vote for Sonic!

My experience is...once I had linear fork springs it became the only option. I have liner on my GS1100, and had liner on my GSX-S. I lost that bike and have a replacement, and even with it all setup properly it's just not the same. Linear springs feel smoother, more predictable, and with a proper setup I'm able to get the right amount of sag and use up the maximum amount of travel.

This is just my humble opinion and experience.

any of you heard of using Mike's XS fork cartridge emulators? much less expensive than the race tech emulators. will they work and are they functionally equivalent to the race tech parts?

I have a set of those (35mm), and have the adapters needed for a 37mm GS1000 fork fabbed now.
Have heard nothing but positive about the MikesXS emulators but the added cost for the adapters, makes the price difference for the drop-in Racetech emulators smaller.

MikesXS seem like a Racetech copy with a few differences.
