springs

I know this is short notice. Goop and I are headed out to Borrego Springs tomorrow morning. Any and all are invited!:rockon:

I rebuilt my forks mostly to put stiffer springs in. I installed 1kg racetech springs. I used all balls fork seals and dust seals. Everything was spotlessly clean before being assembled. I pressed the seals in with an appropriately sized fork seal installation tool. I filled the forks carefully...

As noted, I've got a set of RT springs for the FZ6 forks. Less than 6 months old. Good for riders between about 215-250 lbs, lighter if you ride really aggressively or have dropped the front a bit. Part: FRSP S3732095 (36.7x34.5x315 .95kg) Includes spacers cut for my weight (one spacer is...

Now that I've got my R6 forks on, I'll probably sell off the original parts. While I don't have time right now to get pictures taken to post up on CL/ebay, I thought I'd post up here and see if anyone wanted to call dibs. I'm also curious for those who have sold these parts, what you were able...

Hey folks, just bought a FZ6 2006, 10,000 miles, super condition, Im a fat git, well 6"2 and 16.5 stone, I knew the front end only has .75 fork springs, So my weight by the racetech info is .95 springs. I'm sure this has been covered lots. Anyway for those who have used racetech for front...

Hey guys. Checking in after a while off the bike and forum. Life and work got busy, but fortunately things are starting to calm a bit going into the holiday season and getting some rides in here and there between Oregon showers. I'm looking to do some work on the bike in the off-season. #1 is...

I installed a set of R6s forks today, and WOW! What a difference! Let me say that again with emphasis. WOW!!! Why the bell didn't I do this sooner? A few weeks ago my neighbor, who takes his Honda ST1100 through the twisties like a sport bike, swapped bikes with me for a bit. His...

Good afternoon guys/gals. Long time, no see. Hope all the vets are still around?! I was going through my storage stuff and found my stock springs from when I changed over to the ohlins springs. I do not know if anyone wants these springs or not. Custom project? They have some crud on them...

I picked up some Race Tech springs and Maxima 10w fork oil as an upgrade. I'm 245lb with gear and going to start tracking the bike so I felt it was a much needed upgrade. I've got a mityvac pump and planning to raise the front end and keep the forks on the bike for the oil & spring change...

I am selling the Race Tech springs I've never removed from the box... stiffness is for a a 170-190lb person. The pipe spacers have been cut EXACTLY as per instructions already. Shipped to lower 48 for free. Comes w/ everything in the box of course, spacers, stickers, papers, etc.

Yet Another Suspension Thread Background: I'm trying to tune my suspension. Front feels a bit firm. Rear unbalanced with front and on the softer side. I had compared people's feedback on Racetech springs and Hyperpro setups. I went with Hyperpro because of positive reviews like this one...
