What!?!?!
good suspension work-aftermaket shock-reworked forks,w/correct spring rates-both forks and shock
results in better steering,braking,and overall handling-allows one to use even more throttle then before
suspension mods made-thus free horsepower

Its more fun to spend money on power mods...haha.

Best $40 bucks I ever spent was taking the R6 to a very reputable race suspension shop that does nothing but racebike suspensions. They tweaked the suspension, massaged every last compnent to get the best out of it, and handed it back. The thing was a monster; absolutely bone-jarring on the street, totally unforgiving. My riding improved exponentially in a week. The thing was totally planted in the corners; so stable at full lean, my friends would get a kick out of taking pictures of me, knee dragging, one hand on the bars, the other giving them the one-finger salute. Totally effortless cornering. Forget which filter/which oil/which exhaust when it comes to mods...suspension should be key.

I love to upgrade my machines. After workin on a few of them the things I have done to my bikes that yeilded the biggest overall differencehad to do with suspension. Yeah it costs a few hundred bucks, but what a huge difference! I have yet to do anything other then fine tune the suspension on my 954. At 6'4' 200 lbs I think it might be a good idea to have it done but I am waiting for it to get colder out so my down time is limited. I am very familiar with dirt suspension but street products are somewhat new to me.Any suggestions on brands or types of valves/springs?

Depending on your goals and budget. I've heard it's common to cut springs in Dirt, but I would recommend against it for sport bikes.
