Hey all!

First off, I'm new to the forum and would like to say hi to everyone.  I've crossed paths with SSA a few times in the past and you always seem to be a good group and I look forward to making some turns with you in the spring.

My background is this:  Dirtbikes during highschool, a variety of cruisers/standards afterwords and my last 60K miles were spent on a 02' Interceptor.  After selling the interceptor I realized that I wanted something more sport oriented.  I've recently picked up a 97' GSXR 750, completely stock with 15K on the clock. 

We are talking about one or two track days / year so my desire is to stay in a budget and set the bike up for "spirited" street riding.  I'm about 240 lbs with all my gear.  Any suggestions for the best bang/buck?  Any local suspension guru's?

Thanks!
Tim

Hey Tim. Nice to have you aboard. The local guru would be TWF. His name is Zoran and he can set you up.

Well welcome. You need to start with just getting the bike dailed on for you. Maybe you will need to change the spring rates, maybe not. Its a good starting point.

Zoran of Twin Works Factory is the man, for sure.

Hey guys,
Thanks for the advice.  I've exchanged a couple of emails with Zoran.  Now all I need to do is "launder" some funds.  ;)
Thanks!
Tim
