it seemed I was needing to run what I considered fairly high tire pressures to maintain the front feel I was looking for (41-42 psi cold). Anything less and the C-14 felt like it wanted to flop over on turn in, and took a fair amount of counter steering to maintain a line in a corner.
Don't forget a 55 profile tire on the rear.^^^yes^^^
....... I will post the results here if anyone else is interested in options for getting their Super Sleds to handle!....Subscribed!
And so it was decided to see what we could do with the suspension without breaking the bank. GP Suspensions is well known for creating "cartridge kits" that transform the marginal stock internals of Japanese sportbikes into full race caliber suspensions. After consulting with Barry, it was decided that GP Suspensions would engineer a kit for the C-14, and then we would investigate affordable, quality options for the rear shock.
I pulled the forks and delivered them to GP last week. I just got a call late yesterday that the forks are ready to go. Now we need to order a shock. I am leaning towards the least expensive Penske, as the best handling racebikes I have ever been on used Penske.
This is the best stock suspension I have ever been on, so glad I don't feel the need to drop big bucks on improving it.Some of us are spoiled and once you know what a really good suspension feels like specially during aggressive riding then it does suck to now have to go spend even more money to get the bike to where you like it. Right now I don't like it .
Big bucks, but in the world of shocks, I know you get what you pay for.
Has anyone have experience with Traxxion Dynamics and the C14? I used the Traxxion on my 03 Goldwing and it was truly amazing...so I'm considering it for my C14.

Has anyone have experience with Traxxion Dynamics and the C14? I used the Traxxion on my 03 Goldwing and it was truly amazing...so I'm considering it for my C14.I have the traxion ak20 cartridges and springs. I told them I wanted compliant but controlled,they hit it on the nose.I set it up the way they suggested and it works great,especially with the ohlins rear shock.
Dave
Get the Ohlins, trust me you won't be disappointed.
