They're really good been using them for over a year now, saves all the dive on braking and improves handling. Here's a link to the thread about them. Intiminators

+1 on the Ricor Intiminators. Although, I was taking the bike from a really lowered back to stock height. While she was lowered, I thought I would get thrown off the bike. I used to grip the handlebars to hang on going over any bump. With the bike back at stock height and with the Intiminators installed (along with Hagon Nitros), it's a much more civilized and pleasant ride. The price seems a little steep though, but I don't know what they normally cost in the UK. Can't go wrong with them though.

I have them to. They work - much better then replacing the springs.

Contact <brian@ricorshocks.com> , he will answer any questions and will probably offer to set up the valves (your purchase) to your weight and riding style as he did for me.

When the bike was un-lowered, I had Lonny leave the progressive fork springs in. I suppose, after a couple of years when i change the fork oil, I'll swap out the progressive springs with the stock springs. I noticed several people have said they work better with the stock vs the progressive springs. But it's still so much better than the bucking bronco I started with.
