Race-Tech fork kit question

What's the difference between Race Tech Gold Valve Fork Kit vs. Rebound Gold Valve Fork Kit?

The fork valve is the valve for the dampening action, and the rebound kit is the valve controling the upward motion in the fork... A completely redone fork includes both...

BUT, in the case of the VTR the re-bound valve is actually sufficient unless you are either very heavy, or are going to the track a lot...

Go for the springs and Race Tech Gold Valve Fork Kit and then do the "taper mod" instead... it takes a fine file some patience and gives almost the same results as the rebound valve kit...
