Call Scott at Allsport Cycles and ask him. 540-772-2500.
If I get his feedback, I will post it here.



Thanks Sheepdog, I think quite a few X Trainer's owner will be very happy to hear about it.

Have a look on dirtbikeworld.net ( aussie site). Have a look for posts by Roon ( he's the Sydney Beta dealer). I'm sure he's done it and wrote a review.
I'd be surprised if he's not on this site too
here's a link ( I presume this is what you're talking about)

Thanks jpgibson,
This really gives a great review information for an upgrade on the X Trainer fork upgrade!

FYI this isn't the Boano/Andreani dual cartridge kit discussed previously in this thread. It's the cheaper $387 BPS-K9 single cartridge kit that replaces the cartridge in the LH stock Olle fork. FWIW there are several riders over on the Xtrainer FB group who bought this kit and are now wishing that they had something better.

Thanks for the info and clarification wwguy.
I am still debating between these three choices:
1): http://enduro21.com/index.php/40-genera ... t-by-boano $1699.99
2) http://www.motosupply.com/boano-race-pa ... p-166.html $729.95
3) http://www.motosupply.com/beta-motorcyc ... -2475.html $386.99

Installed the BPS-K9 kit along with a Fox shock. Substantial difference with little loss of the trials bike characteristics and a noticeable difference at faster speeds. It's still not an RR but it no longer feels like a death ride at higher speeds.

I may play around with the shims a bit.
