Recently fitted the Touratech Electronic suspension to my 1250 gs and have found it to be excellent ,well bloody brilliant.
Some will say too expensive for an upgrade but as I spend my cash on my bikes for me its a sensible way to go.
The new system keeps all the electronic connection with the bike and works as the standard system. The new ride now is superb and soaks up all that is thrown up at it with ease.
First thing I noticed was how the suspension seems to work faster with more fluidity of damping action and accurate compression , the front especially seems like its working faster to follow every lump , bump etc allowing you push harder and faster but with a feeling of complete comfort and road contact , even in Dynamic.
The rear works as the front again with precision and feel , both together are an impressive combination , no adjustment need yet on the Hi Lo settings.
One section of a road I ride has a lot of dips and rises which before on the standard systems made the bike buckle a bit and reducing you speed was the only option , with the new system it just absorbed it even to the point of road jumping and raising the front wheel over 90 + mph , never been able to that before on that road without the fear of crashing , not now.
So to evaluate the cost , 100% worth it , again some will say I would say that as i have spent the £2900 on it but i have always tried to be honest and give a true picture , and hope the new connection with the road surface may help me get better tyre mileage as well ...

As I said the clincher for me is that the Tractive units can remove all the front EPA crap that is completely useless so that is a really nice option.
