I hope I don't offend anyone by revisiting this issue but I couldn't find the exact answers I was looking for. I am going to buy new springs for the forks. Springs and oil only I am poor.  Got the bike apart in the garage and decided to go ahead and do the springs but not sure what and where to go. What brands are available: Hyperpro, Racetech are there others? What is the cheapest yet quality springs out there? Also of the reccomended brands where on the web is the best/cheapest place to purchase. I appriciate all comments and help. Thanks Guys Mike | ||

traxxion dynamics rule of thumb - spring the bike as soft as you can ride it. This is generally a personal peference I shoulda, coulda, woulda gone 1.1 but felt 1.0 was a good fit along w/19 kg/mm on the rear (ohlins)

The 1100#/in is very close to the 19kg/mm spring. The conversion is 19kg/mm*2.2046#/kg*25.4mm/in=1063.9#/in
