There is lots of information in the "Howto's..." at the right of the main page just under the Gallery box and also do not forget to do a specific search on what ever topic you are looking for.

Contact Race Tech I believe they have a gold valve kit for the 87 500 rear shock. Upgrading your front end will help. I swapped my 87 style front end for an 89 and it was a big help. Getting the correct springs for your weight is a plus.
