How is the suspension?
The Shop
Did you have to use a different shock spring rate when you changed to the Luxon? I know when you change to the PC you need to.
I am in the process of doing my rear shock just like yours but doing a black instead.
Again one heck of build!
In my case, I am 96 kg (210 pounds) and technical touch belgium (official KYB dealer in Europe) advised me to go with the 46 Nm spring (that is with the stock linkage) but Luxon Mx advised me to go up to the 52 Nm spring (which i did). It works perfect with the 52 Nm spring so yes going up 2 to 3 rates is a must do with this kind of linkage.
Hope this help
Would like to know how they compare to the kayaba setup...
Unfortunately to be able to compare to my KYB build i would need to ride them back to back but i can tell you that the KYB fork and shock are miles better than the stock components, it really change the bike for the better
Looking to buy wp or kayaba in the future...
After all the reviews and feedbacks i read, i finally choosed to go KYB. I read too many time that the Traxx shock is not that great and that the CV fork can be harsh if not riden hard (i am a B rider riding just for fun).
No regrets at all for now, the kit works wonder.
Just out of curiosity what do you think of the FCP engine mounts ? Has it made much difference? I’m interested to hear what you think before buying them.
I've done a bit to my 18 FC350, but not like that. I went MX Tech Lucky suspension, Radius CX clutch, Blais Racing ECU, Mika Metals drive train, and assorted bling. Mine looks and works great, but yours is off the charts! Tres bien!

About the FCP, well i can’t say for sure because i receive it in the same time with my KYB fork&shock so i couldn’t wait to ride and put it all together in the same time. So the bike changed drastically but i can’t say how much % is because of the mounts or because of the KYB suspensions sorry pal. But i am sure it plays a role
The luxon link is quite a bit different in dim's... here it is compared to the stock 350 XCF (2016) link.
First i have added a 52 T rear sprocket (stock is 50) in the back and man it is so much better for the power curve ! Now i can use 3rd gear nearly everywhere and it is so much efficient.
Then i bought a ride engineering link, set the sag at 103 mm just as recommended by Keefer and this is a game changer ! The bike is so much better in the turn !
That’s it, i think that was the two little pieces missing for my build, now i really love the bike !
Will add the photos later
I have the Luckon/N2D knuckle coming and Talked with Brian at N2D about adding the Luxon link just to drop the seat height a little.
Bike came out great! You make me feel better about my 52T sprocket as well, was starting to doubt the purchase.
Are kyb factory forks better than the cartrige kit?
And unless you go really fast i am not sure you will be able to see a difference but you can send an email to technical touch Europe or USA and they will tell you exactly.
Thanks
