I'm looking into getting some kit suspension and I'm looking for your guys opinions on which would be best. I was looking into the showa since the Kawasaki is already showa but they are very expensive and I read they're set up more for really good riders (which I dont get. I thought they were all set up individually for the rider) and I'm more of a B class dude. Any input about them would be appreciated and not to sound like a dick but please dont tell me I'm not good enough for it and I'm out of my league, all that crap. Its my choice and I'm just looking to see if anyone has a kit and what they think about it, if it was worth it. Thanks
I'd just go for the one you get the best deal on. they're all better than Stock and you'd be happy with all of them. If you can get a ride on any test sets or mates bikes with it on and maybe do it that way?
You will be happy with whichever you choose, as either will be a huge improvement. Look for a good deal.

Showa is more along the lines of performance and KYB is comfort.
Showa will be more rigid and shine the faster you go.
KYB is less rigid and will suite your skill level better.
If the valving is bad in whatever you choose its a waste.
Choose a reputable A-Kit tuner.
Be honest with your skill level and riding conditions, not some dream level.
Getting them set up correctly the first time is key.
KYB all the way!!!!
