I know you two guys know your stuff when it comes to the suspension stuff. ( as some others here do too )

I was wondering what a guy like me could do for a suspension upgrade on one of my RM 250's? Could I possibly do a full KYB SSS conversion? Or possibly an Ohlins or WP conversion?

If you owned a bike like mine and wanted some great suspension without paying A-kit price....what would be your options? Or if a guy could get an affordable A-kit , how and where would he get it?

Questions are for a 2006 and a 2005 RM250.

Um...Did you notice the sticky at the top of the page? Ross Maeda from KYB and Enzo doing a Forum QNA?

I'm guessing he knows a thing or two about KYB. Wink

jeffro, what are your complaints with the Showa twin chambers? These forks can be made to work very, very good without spending huge bucks.
