If you want me to swap the switches, send them as well.

I would go with straight rate springs. I have Progressives in my 97 street (they were a surprise when I got the forks) and Sonics in my 94 track bike. Progressives will give more of a plush ride and straight rate springs will provide better feedback, especially when riding aggressively.

Common sense in not very common.

That's where I bought them for my gs. Wait a minute! Did you say 79.99? They were 89.99! I'm gonna go buy up a set if this is true.

Eh, 89.99 still. You got me all excited.  :laugh: I'll still probably buy them anyway.

I would have bought them if i hadnt bought the Race Techs.  Everyone says they work great.  Tolerances are as perfect but its not noticable really apperntly.  but id say its worth it

Sonics are still $79.95


How's the quality? Just as good?

I have them in my track bike and would not hesitate to buy them again. I was not wild about using the PVC spacer included but IIRC, I used the stock spacer and had to shorten it.
