I am trying to decide what route to go for a fork upgrade for my MC21r, considering either getting a MC28sp fork and get the insides upgraded or go the the rvf400 route. Which is considered the best for a road focused bike? Alternatively is there something else I should consider.

Cheers,

I know we've discussed a few options elsewhere, but I think the best bang for your bukc is to get the stock ones sprung to your weight/style. For a road bike, you'll set them up once and then forget about it.

Could you look at the possibility of getting the internals from other bikes if they suit your weight range?

Thats what I am thinking with the 28SP forks. The options for revising the internals is better than the 21r that I have. Its just the cost of doing that versus the cost of rvf....plus the rvf wank factor lol

I've set up my SP forks to work well for some serious canyon riding. They just needed a slightly heavier fork oil and a higher oil level and they support my 200lb ass just fine.

The sp forks are nice RVF even cooler...plus the bigger brakes!!

I am just setting up my SP forks with a spring and oil change until my riding gets better and I need more.

The dude setting m bike up says the sp forks will be enough for me forever but hey RVF gets you points at the track

if you want total w@nk factor, got to a CBR600RR front end!

It's fully adjustable, high and low speed compression, and raidal brakes!

trust me, that's going to be my next NSR project

You can't beat RS250 forks... hand built by HRC and need no internal modification as they are made for a 250!

You also get big brakes with them and sexy calipers with quick release pins! (Just make sure you take a quick peek down at the pads each time you hop on to make sure some scumbag hasn't removed them while you weren't looking!)

I hope that is not from experience!

I know of someone that was about to do the ohlins RS250 front end, looks damn sexy

No, not from experience thankfully!
