Hey all!! After an uneventful riding season; due to my busted frame and constant traveling for work, I am going to be tearing the 98 st2 down and doing much needed maintenance to the suspension. Bike shows around 45K miles on her now, over 30K on current setup since i bought here a few years back. I have an ohlins on the back, and plan on sending it to their place in Hendersonville for whatever work it needs. Has anybody done this before? They have a form to fill out asking what work I would like done. But I really do not know. I guess I just want them to fix anything wrong and refresh the gas and fluids? I know I have the heaviest spring they offer for my perticular shock; I weigh around 165 now, and very rarely tour with more then myself and whatever I can fit in the side bags. I am going to ask for a different spring be put on. Any suggestions there?
Also, I want to do the forks myself. I have LT's book, but haven't read it in a while. Going to sit down tonight and go over it again to get it fresh in my mind.. Anyone recommend fluid types or such? I was going to buy this kit...

I am not sure if the fork valves/springs have been upgraded or not; but I have read a few times that most people seem to think the gold valves are not worth the money. Any feedback on that? I remember something about progressive springs?
Thanks,
Nate
