Not been down the K-Tech route so can't comment but I did have Traxxion Dynamics valves fitted to the standard forks and this was a vast improvement over standard set up but came into it's own when riden hard (I don't weigh as much as your standard jockey). The ride was a hole lot smoother.
I've now gone down the R1 fork route and although the ride feels ever so slightly harder, the handling steering and feedback is much better. The steering is much faster due to the dropped front end, and it's very flickable. Just when I thought things coudn't improve I decided to add an R6 shock to the rear. Now I'm grinning like a cat on steroids everytime I look at the bike. The bike is now so precise in terms of handling. It goes where I want it to go... without fear if complaining. The nose is planted and the rear is playable.

Some say that he eats habanero chilli peppers dipped in oil of capsaicin for extra bite and that his pyjamas are made from Nomex. All we know is, he's called Ad the Bad
