Looking for some Front Springs for the ol' GS. It is an 89. Want some opinions from the experts (that is me sucking up!!) on the best replacement springs. I have seen progressive springs for about $50, but never used them. Anyway...appreciate the time!!
What type of riding will you be doing?
Street riding/commuting? Progressive
Sport riding/Track? Race Tech or Sonic Springs
Cruising? Progressive
Wheelies? Race Tech or Sonic Springs
Potholes and dips? Progressive
I ride on the street with a spring rate that is over the reccomended race-rate for me. It's because I'm a flyweight and I got the lowest spring rate availible, but it is a fantastic difference.
Planning on some track days and the only street riding is gonna be be with my wife behind the bars. I have a 954 for street duty, but trying to find a balance. She loves to ride but I need to be careful not to make it too harsh. I got a GSXR rear shock on the way. So it is starting to sound like the race techs are going to be a better choice. What do you think? I appreciate the response...
I'd say go with the straight rate springs. I've got sonic springs. Good people to deal with. I've got a .90 in mine, I'm 185lbs. I like it little stiff. :)
I've ridden with my girlfriend on the back with my RaceTechs in, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Go for the straight rate. :)
