Touring Riders have different needs: Comfort, safety and of course better handling. Properly setup suspension offers major benefits to the touring motorcycle.
Two-up riding puts an even greater demand on suspension often making the passenger suffer needlessly. Sport Touring bikes are known for mushy suspension, although fine in some situation; too many times control is sacrificed. Race Tech can smooth out the jarring bumps allowing you to ride more miles daily with greater comfort. This also results in less wear on your body and makes for happy pillion riders too! The real trick is improving firmness, while creating plushness and improving control at the same time.
This, along with increased traction and a consistent feel and feedback keeps you in control in almost any situation: blitzing across a two lane roads, pushing the limits on a mountain road, or just cruising down the interstate. If you want the best possible comfort, control, and handling, you are in the right place. The first step to great handling is selecting proper spring rates front and rear.
With over Hi-Performance Springs to choose from, Race Tech is almost guaranteed to have the spring you need. Touring bikes are notoriously under-sprung causing the bike to feel lazy and heavy yes, the bikes ARE heavy.
Proper spring rates improve ground clearance as well. Want a custom color on a rear spring? The Gold Valve equipped fork is the ultimate front end providing a firm yet plush feel that doesn't dive excessively. Gold Valves use an improved piston design to give outstanding performance, feel, and tuneability. Race Tech's award winning Gold Valve Kits for Shocks provide great performance without the cost of a replacement shock.
Gold Valve Shock Conversion Kits are installed in the stock shock. They provide a personalized setup, creating a plush feel with improved bottoming resistance and more control at the same time. These shocks have been tested in all types of conditions to provide the best performance. On many models G3-S Shocks add external damping adjustability.
Engineered to be ultra-durable and tested to provide a plush feel with improved bottoming resistance; these shocks are state-of-the-art. They are the highest quality and generally significantly less expensive than the original equipment.
These tubes are made from the best materials and are available with color options. Feeling the power of the Gold Wing as I took the corners through the Catskills left me with quite an envious smile on my face.
As I have explained numerous times this week to other riders, I finally found the rest of my horsepower through the set up of the Race Tech suspension.
The redline was also raised to Rpm. The B16A uses P30 pistons which raise the compression to It is actually a Viscous Coupling Differential that uses Fluid to approximate a similar effect. Dissembling the driveshaft and physically checking the differential is the only way to check. I believe this was an option up to 93, and then standard when the car was revised in Suspension: Not much to say, a front strut brace was standard, no options for further bracing or sports suspension.

With his Civic build, Muhammad has achieved what I consider the perfect balance of modifications for a street-driven EG Civic in the modern era.
What do you think? It was still powered by a K24, but providing the bulk of horsepower was a Rotrex Supercharger. After their lack-luster performance in the DC5, the team knew they had a ways to go in areas other than the engine; mainly the exterior. So, they approached Topstage Composites to bring the Civic up to a competitive level aerodynamically. Working with the Melbourne based manufacturer, they developed a package that was modeled in CAD, and CFD designed and tested to provide the adequate balance of downforce vs.
The aero also totally transformed the look of the Civic making it among the most well-know in not only Australia, but the international stage as well. Zi and his team at the shop have poured years of testing and research developing a motor build that is both high power and reliable. To make the most of this package, Phil has been working with Motec to tune the engine as well as provide valuable datalogging with each session.
Regardless of the margin, going from 7th to 1st was a surprise to all of Australia, and a real eye opener to Zi and the team about what it took to win on a global scale. The next year was a little bittersweet. High off their win in , the team did little to improve the car. Despite changing the engine setup to a turbocharged variant, and achieving a personal best in late-season testing, the team still ended up being over-confident in the current car.
Their wake up call to how fast the sport progresses came in the form of the WTAC. The current, and final, version of the car is what you see here. A small amount of exterior updates for , but the main change coming in the form of paddle shifters for the Holinger transmission, and the previously mentioned front suspension; which no longer uses the OE pickup points and off-the-shelf parts. Interior modifications are minimal as per your typical race car. Motec electronics line the floor panels next to a custom fuel cell.
Safety precautions are handled by a custom, gusseted roll cage complete with door bars, a 6-point harness and Bride Gardis II seat a personal favorite of mine.
The custom dash adds a nice, personal touch to the office space.
