Ah, Physics...The longer a spring is, at a constant coil, the softer it is. Here's a little demonstration you can do....gunny said:Ok, all really great info. Though I can't really see how cutting the stock spring would increase the rate, even adding a longer spacer, isn't the stock spring a constant rate ? I think for the effort, I'll get a set of progressive springs. How much of a difference do they really make, is it something you would notice immediately ?or something you only notice with hard riding ? I've changed stock fork springs on my old RM 250, so it's an easy swap, but that was 30 years ago, and with stock replacement springs only.
You can read Biker Scout and my posts on this thread for some information. I had never heard of it before.harley dog said:Gunny:
My new progressive springs should be here by Monday. I read your threrad with great interest. One question....Where does one find "Kynar"? I don't think that I have ever heard of it before.

Some day after work I will stop by and see if they carry it. I checked for a webpage, no luck.larryboy said:in sacramento i'd be willing to bet that capitol rubber carries it.
