 The F guides were not an improvement, but a regrettable cost cutting change. Spring tech has come a long way since these bikes were manufactured. I'd like to have a set of the kibblewhite beehive springs and retainers. No reason to at this time though.

Thanks guys for all the great info.  Maybe upgrading all that stuff will be my next project after the R5 yamaha that is splayed out all over my workbench right now; next winter.  Too close to the best riding weather to take it apart now!  And that leaky 550 head gasket, and the rusty tank, oh, and the shocks and springs, and....the other bikes ...
