Has anybody used them for a WP re-valve?
Today was the day that I finally had enough with my stock 2021 Xact fork, the braking and acceleration chop was just beating the shit out of me, and I tried every setting for the fork I know .
Not only that, but the fork won't settle in corners and it wants to wash out, even set at 7.5 MM down in the clamp.
I have Kreft stuff on my 350 and its a big improvement over stock, but those guys are in Oregon and I have to ship the stuff off if I need valving changes, I wanted to try REP because they are local to me in Temecula.

But REP are wp specialists and will be able to tune that fork really well.
When you call them, please ask them for a WP part number on the plastic oil baffle ring that goes around the damping cartridge seal head.... they are very fragile and not sold separately on KTM parts fiche
On the older one, I went over to the check plate off the 2 stroke..... when you think about it, a check plate isn't that far away in concept over a cone valve
Kreft added a mid valve to my 2018 AER 350 fork and it works a lot better then the stock 2021 Xact fork, but what I really want is the feel of a stock Yamaha KYB SSS system, without the spring.
Iim going down there tomorrow to see what REP can do for me.
The Shop
They are a breeze to install on the 21 forks. Calculating preload and bleeding them is the only thing that takes time. Took me and a buddy 2 hours starting with stock forks still on bike.
I think Corey charges $100 to install.
Waiting for the adapter for '21 to be released. These have worked well for those who don't want air. Can then tune fork with many options, including cone valve adapted kit.
I prefer the wp unit, it costs more, maybe 100.00 or so. But, I like the quality of it. There's several spring rate options offered as well.
