View Full Version : What's a RaceTech kitted front end worth?

I'm thinking of going the USD Gixer K4/5 forks route on my K5S purely on the grounds of 'they look nicer' cos I'm a tart. My front end already has a full set of Gold Emulators and K-Tech springs and the rest is in A1 100% perfect immaculate condition taken fom a 6,000 mile old bike.

What's it worth?

If anyone is interested in buying it as one job lot (I won't split it) can they please pm me rather than posting here.

It will consist of - upper and lower yokes with bearings where attached but no ignition switch, forks with all emulators and K-Tech springs plus stock springs and a set of way too heavy Racetech ones (to suit a right fat b_st_rd and his hippo missus), wheel (no tyre), wheel spindle, brake calipers, discs, mudguard, handlebars, speedo drive, any fixings, brackets and associated nuts and bolts.

I'm struggling to understand how you can spell 'generous' correctly, but the correct spelling of 'being' has passed you by. Is it Northamptonshire dialect coming into play?

While I'm at it, have some of these ''''''''''''''...they're apostrophes.

Btw, could I please refer you to my earlier 'I'm in a...' post in Idle Banter.

Boo..Hiss. I ain't arguing with K, she might fry my brain via satellite :)

I haven't a clue what it's worth. Hopefully I'd like to cover the cost of a Gixer front end with what I get for it. General opinion is that a reasonable stock SV front end is worth the same as a Gixer K4/5 set-up, so mine with the RaceTech and K-Tech stuff should easily be worth similar money, especially considering it's all immaculate with no corrosion or marks.

Only 200 quid for RaceTech modified forks? That seems a bit cheap with the Emulators and springs fitted. I'll be using the same master cylinder unless I can find a genuine Brembo 19/20 going cheap, but the clip-ons will be up for grabs as they can't be used with USDs, same goes for mudguard etc.

Not sure, but the springs are .85kg/mm K-Tech ones with 15W oil, if that's any help. They feel ok with my 11 stone on board.
