Nice to see Ray getting some proper air time. Anyone that can make NSR50 forks handle jumping and still rock for road racing has serious skills.

It was pretty cost effective and it depends on what options you want. Ray posts on here quite a bit, I would send him a pm or just give him a call and he can get you an acurate quote for what you might need.

Re: RJP Racing NSR50 Modded Fork Review

I was quoted ~$450 for NSR50 forks: cartridge emulators, polish and setup. It seemed a bit steep but after feeling Brad's forks in comparison to mine there's just no comparison. So I'm planning on doing it when I tear the bike down for finishing.

Re: RJP Racing NSR50 Modded Fork Review

I have a set of Rays reworked NSR forks with custom springs and preload adjusters on my monkey and on my ZB i have the same with the addition of the emulators. I'm a huge fan of the emulator setup as the response with the rebound is noticeable in many riding conditions. I highly recommend emulators for a race setup.

Ray, does your magic translate to KSR forks? Dan and Brad have been kind enough to help me source some and I would like to get the most out of them.
