Race Tech Gold Valve and Spring Set installation
Page 1

The following pages contain images and descriptions of installing the Race Tech Gold Valve and Springs into the forks of a VTR1000F.  This is not a HowTo but a visual representation of what is needed to do a job of this type.  It may help you to decide on who is going to do your forks.

There are many pictures and pages so if you have a slow Internet connection you may want to skip this.

So let's go!

I am going to skip showing how to remove the forks since that is covered in the Honda Shop manual, which you should have before doing this.

Boxes

These are the boxes containing the kits.  The Gold Valve kit contains a video tape that covers general installation.

This is the contents of the spring kit.  You receive comprehensive instructions, two springs some shims and spacer stock.   You cut the spacer stock to the proper length to accommodate your weight and riding style.
