I like race tech and most commuters like the progressive springs.

I think one thing to be aware of is that they look to be a non-linear spring. Meaning they act differently at different stages of compression.
That's only important if you go with Race Tech's emulators. Since linear springs behave the same throught it's length, the emulators can be adjusted (tunned) to your preferences.
With the progressive type, the kind that has different stages within it's spring travel, trying to tune the emulator to the 1/3 stage will change when it's at the 2/3 stage, and vise-versa.

But dont you tune your forks for different tracks? It would seem that tuning for all around use (twisties,freeway and track) would be difficult at best?
emulator is as good a thing to do as the springs or better. Both together are so much better than stock. Best thing to do IMHO is a usd upgrade.

I had considered at one time doing a Yamaha YZF600R fork swap. Same 41mm diameter forks tubes, so theoretically they would slip into the triple tree. I know there would be more to it than that, though. Yet fully adjustable cartridge forks.
