I'm glad he asked.


I thought he meant it had a cover on it and he had spelled it wrong. Dohhh.

Re:465 with rap 10 Months ago  
If I were you (and I'm not,) I would probably go with progressive springs to match the rear, and Gold Valves for the tuneability. Matching spring rates is one of the best things you will ever do for your bike. Race Tech will be glad to help you on the phone with the Emulators, and they have tuning suggestions for the Progressive springs. Obviously, they reccomend straight rate springs to optimize ride quality for the rider,( and I do too) but since you have the progressive rear, it is a better match to go progressive up front as well.

465 with rap, on my mod list! I'm liking what I read about the adjustable shock part, almost without leaving the seat.

I put a 465 on earlier this year but not with the RAP. Considered it but didn't follow through.

Who needs it anyway? You're really gonna miss laying on your back turning those adjustment nuts.
