It's no secret that most of us who ride the Honda Grom are not in the recommended weight range for the factory suspension resulting in a harsh ride where we are constantly bottoming out the stock forks. Enter Race Tech. Available from Riders Discount, Race Tech's Gold Valve fork kit provides a plush feel able to absorb the smaller road chatter while providing much better resistance to bottoming out the front end. These are not yet listed on the website, but you can place your order with TJ by giving him a call at 866.931.6644 ext. 817. Is email more convenient? Send us a message through this forum or write to us at FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM, and we'll get back to you right away! This isn't to be considered a "race only" part, street riders will benefit greatly from this change as well. Installing the pre-assembled "combo kit" results in better traction, consistency, and control of your Grom. The combo kit includes both compression and rebound Gold Valves as well as new and improved longer damping rods as well as a shim kit. Special tools are required that we can get for you if you'd like to tackle this project on your own using Race Tech's detailed instructions. However be aware that you must separate the fork bottom from the lower fork leg. We definitely recommend handing this off to an experienced mechanic if you aren't comfortable working on your own bike.
In the middle of our installing the Ohlins fork cartridge kit for the Honda Grom - Annnnnd done! What do you think? Installation was relatively easy and took us a little over an hour from start to finish. The most time consuming part was removing the fork bottom as we had to heat it up to unscrew it from the lower fork tube. Also pictured is the Tyga top triple clamp and carbon fiber clip ons which are also available from Riders Discount.
How come every time I search your website for keyword GROM nothing is found? Looking for prices on the ohlins shock and fork internals. Thanks!
That is because we are replacing the current site shortly and it hasn't been updated while the crew is finishing up the new site.
