Clearly if you revalve a Showa fork it will work better than when stock as you will be putting in Big port comps / rebound pistons & be changing the compression stack if these forks have them as well as the needles to compensate the extra flow of oil that the big pistons allow now & this will in turn give a much more compliant feel over bumps etc but unless you put a Mid valve bending shim stack in you will still have no sharp bump complianace & the bike will still dive under hard braking which in turn up sets the length of the bike so makes it to turn in sharper or give it a feeling of the fronts tucking under , where as the Mid valve kit holds the bikes front up higher in its stroke so when heavy braking is done it keeps the front up which in turn gives better braking as the bike doesn't become loaded up in the front from blowing through it stroke & also lets you steer easyer as the bike is not unbalancing it weight to the front as much . My Ohlins has the latest Superbike spec that is availble for the road & there is nothing short of a Gas Cartridge forks that would feel better if you could set some up for the road & I have had a one off TTX36 rear shock built for my RSVR as well so have a fair idea on what is the bench mark in top suspenion . Revalving is the way to go if done correctly by someone that knows how & can explain what is going to be done & how it will affect your ride , do your home work as I have seen to often forks been made worse from getting the wrong internals been put in .
