So I'm hopefully going to be picking up an RC390 in a couple days and in looking through all the race prep I need to do over the winter, I think the front forks are probably my top question. The rules for the production class state that,
"The front forks may be modified with different springs, valves and oil. Preload adjusters may be added to the forks. The stock fork damping rods must be retained, but may be modified."
I'm not super familiar with suspension, but isn't the damper rod in a cartridge fork just kind of a connecting rod? Or do you think that just doesn't apply here and I'm basically limited to springs, valves, and oil?
