I'm debating putting on for a little winter riding or sending them out beforehand
I'd kind of like to see how they feel first but riding conditions here are turning crappy fast-couple inches snow today.
Anybody happy out of the box with theirs ?
Any suggestions I'm #230-250lbs mostly slow b rider. I'm pretty sure these came with .47 springs
I've scouted the other posts but if anyone has any new insight
Any tips about these forks appreciated
Thanks Stoby

I ran mine (off an unused 08 250F) one race with the OEM settings, just to try it out. I'm slow, old and pretty heavy (~90kg naked), and these forks were way to stiff (too much compression damping) for my speed and abilities. I kept the stock springs (0.449 if memory serves me right), but did a RaceTech Gold Valve revalve and am very happy with them now. I use Ohlins 5W oil at the OEM level (330cc).
I would presume you are faster than me, but I also presume that the 450 setup is stiffer than the 250 setup. I guess you'll be better off with a revalved fork, but you have nothing to loose in trying them as they are before you send them off. That way you get a feeling on how close they are to what you need.
