    If you have the coin, go with Traxxion.

    I read from many on this board that the Traxxion "full monty" is the way to go for those that ride hard and want a better road feel....But it is really worth it to put $3500 into a bike, mine is a 2013, that is currently only worth $9,000???...I think I will pass as my riding days are becoming less as I get older...Maybe just the front forks and AllBAlls bearings will work for me....I will give it some more thought over the winter and if I keep my bike, maybe I'll pop for the cash!!...Regards

    Seems like you've been on the Traxxion fence for a long time. A bikes worth is in the eye of the owner. IMO it's money well spent if you have the cash to blow on frivolous expenses like bike upgrades and plan on keeping it. I do a couple 3 thousand mile rides a year and the difference was night and day. I won't spend a 100 bucks on sneakers but have no problem with high end upgrades for my bike or another firearm to stick in the safe. I always tell myself I've blown cash in way worse ways.

    Your probably right about the Traxxion deal and I am sure it works fine...But, if I really wanted to spend the money, and was planning on riding for a few more years, I would "bite the bullet" and buy a new 2018/19 Goldwing and not worry about the front suspension issues...Regards and ride safe

    Can't argue with that. The new Honda is not my cup of tea but if I was into that style I'd probably buy the BMW. I tend to keep my vehicles at least ten years or more unless I wreck em and I've wrecked a few.
