My kid had A-Kit suspension on his 125, when he was 13, but he was racing the B class. And just for the record- I DIDN'T have the money back then, but I got it cheap from a race team. Cool

Well, I got some KYB "Factory kit" spring forks in Monday from a guy that bought them 2nd hand to replace the TAC forks on his KX only to find out when I tore them down they were in fact not "Factory kit" forks at all. Just stock CRF KYB's with Kashima on the uppers and DLC on the lowers. Worst $1500 he ever spent, lol.

Pretty sure I've seen your first race on YouTube before.

Chill, bro. Tighten the sprocket bolts on your forks.

I was told the the KYB kit is stock components with the coatings. So I was told from a reliable source. Not the case with the Showa A-Kit.

Generally speaking, yes, but there are differences like the inner cartridge is Kashima coated, the tubes are suppose to be beefier than production and they use stronger stainless steel rebound and compression base valve posts. Not as noticeably different as Showa, but different none the less.

You could buy it from Harbor Freight and just return it when you're done with it.

You guys bashing Brandon are idiots. He's actually a personal friend of mine in KC. Why does it matter that he has good parts on his bike, what difference does it make to you. There is no "speed" requirement to buy good parts. He is a great kid and all he is doing is trying to sell his parts. If you want to buy them, then comment, if you don't want to buy, you have no business bashing a person for absolutely no reason. You idiots are why so many good people stay off these forums and you make it worse for people that are actual motorcycle enthusiasts. Come on people, grow up!

X2, usually the jealous or broke people bashing. Like you said, why do people care how others spend their own money. Skill level means nothing if you like trick parts and builds. Riding and building are a hobby.

You are such a no-fun sensitive pussy. I have to imagine you are the most boring person. It was a joke, quit crying about it. About everything.

Bullshit Beaver Cleaver, you have zero sense of humor in any post, all you do is get butt hurt about shit and act as though you have some moral high ground in life. You're a buzz kill to every thread you post in. If GuyB wanted more traffic he'd perma-click you for sucking the life out of everyone's fun. I feel sorry for your friends and family, if you have any.

I can tell your young and immature by starting out the name calling. Maybe you should work on getting your mail bride in the states. Lmao. Like I said keyboard warrior, who wdnt say anything in person.

Naw, I m good man,. The juvenile name calling started it all, simple solution, don't like people's post don't read them or respond. .And the immature response is safe behind a keyboard. Something people won't say in person.

We know. You put too much effort into this to not be the man. Putting so much thought into what sounds the coolest, sometimes having to go back and edit or delete a post.

Just a bit of advice, have some confidence in what you write. You might actually stand for something one day.
