Hi
Found a spring company who did their best to wind some road springs for my Fad. Gave them projected weight (from all the post on weights of your rides), spring lengths free and compressed and let them work out what I needed. the guys I dealt with were REALLY helpful, so I order them as a staring point. Yep a $375 strting point (Hell dont that hurt)
Out with the old and in with the new. I do have some adjustment on the cones at each end of the suspension but if the rate is wrong this does not help.
Its a case of fit them and then bounce up and down to see if they are somewhere near.
Guess what... first impressions are that the rears are too hard and the fronts are too soft BUT I will try them on the road and see what they pan out like.
Also while the rears look coool the fronts are MUCH too open for my liking so another $XXX for a set of fronts that have more coils and maybe a little harder.
Oh well thats Ts for you. Its a,most like an 18 year old blonde with a liking for 'pretty things' that gliiiter in the light.
Pics for the guys that demand them (and rightly so my friends)
By the way I am so glad that TED was not in the workshop when we fitted these 'mothers' as be safe did not enter in to it. My blood pressure was at max revs and the valve bounce I experienced would have dusted any motor you name
