Member Contributer JamieDaugherty Posted September 10, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted September 10, 2014 I just wanted to let you guys know that I've recently released a fork cartridge upgrade kit. These are available for all years VFR750 and VFR800. I've been working hard on these for the past couple of years and they are finally ready. One of the biggest goal for this kit was that it something the owner can install themselves. This eliminates the need to send the forks to me for the upgrade. I will still be offering the standard fork spring and revalve services and will also be installing these cartridge kits as well. Pricing is $550-575 depending on model and year. Please send me an email at jamie@daughertymotorsports.com if you are interested in ordering. International orders are welcome. Features: All new DMr BD Series compression valving All new DMr BD Series rebound valving Includes springs and spacers for a direct fit New damping rods and adjustable caps Adds external damping adjustment on models not equipped from the factory Valving setup and spring rate configured specifically for each rider and application Utilizes OEM cartridge tubes, no need to pay for what you don't need All valving parts are preassembled Includes detailed instructions for easy installation Made in the USA!

Member Contributer SamW Posted September 10, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted September 10, 2014 Freak'n Awesome!!! This may be a winter project for me! Does this include the early VFR (86-87 VFR700 & 750)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer crazybrother Posted September 10, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted September 10, 2014 Jamie, will you make a kit for the 2010-present VFR 1200? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JamieDaugherty Posted September 10, 2014 Author Member Contributer Share Posted September 10, 2014 Freak'n Awesome!!! This may be a winter project for me! Does this include the early VFR (86-87 VFR700 & 750)? I do not have kits for the 86-87 models yet. Those will be more involved because the forks are not cartridge style originally, but the idea is the same. Jamie, will you make a kit for the 2010-present VFR 1200? The VFR1200 uses KYB forks and I do not have a kit for those yet. For now the 1200's are DMr install only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Duc2V4 Posted September 10, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted September 10, 2014 Well if anyone is on the fence about doing a fork upgrade, hop off the fence this is a great option, no need to send in your forks and it appears simple enough that a cave man can install them! Nice job Jamie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer zoomzoom Posted September 11, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted September 11, 2014 So Jamie, does mean that basically all the internal parts of the front forks are essentially replaced with new parts?? So all that is required is disassemble the bits, swap in your parts, and you are good to go?? You did such a FANTASTIC job with the rear shock that I would not hesitate to purchase your kit. Some of my mechanical skills are a little lacking but I think I could handle this job if it is essentially plug and play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of my mechanical skills are a little lacking but I think I could handle this job if it is essentially plug and play. That's pretty much it. When I did my 6 Gen suspension, I sent Jamie the rear shock and had him send me the components for the front forks, shims, valves, springs, etc.. Although I had some mechanical experience, I was little apprehensive at first but if this kit was around I would have had no hesitation just placing an order. Having done the whole kit via the DIY route, it turned out to be no big deal but with this kit it really would be nothing at all, in comparison.

Magna86 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I'll be purchasing a few of these kits once I can get some sort of a workspace setup again next year. All projects are on hold as of now and in storage. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer LangoPTC Posted October 9, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted October 9, 2014 Saving my pennies to upgrade front and rear suspension over the winter with DMr components. I sure hope the instructions are idiot-proof... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puig510 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Jamie, I'll be calling you in the next few weeks to order the kit and shocks...for a 6th gen. Do you have the rear shock in stock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNRabbit Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Jamie, are there any advantages/performance differences of having the forks rebuilt over just installing the cartridges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Cogswell Posted October 21, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted October 21, 2014 I must be slipping to have missed this post until today. Now I know what my project over the winter will be . . . That looks too nice to hide inside a fork tube! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Duc2V4 Posted November 22, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted November 22, 2014 Both my VFRs have had Jamie's work done to them. Great ROI if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dustin Posted November 22, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted November 22, 2014 Suspension is typically my one and only mod and the VFR will be no exception. Looking forward to placing an order with Jamie some time in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
