Hey all,
I'm on a quest for a pair of progressive rate springs for my nos Konis (76f model 1296). These shocks (for the 750) did not come with springs. The Progressive Suspension springs (100lb/140lb) springs that I purchased for them fit on the shocks fine but end up being to small in ID as they rub the shock body a bit durin operation. Progressives other spring options seem to be too large in ID. I am in the process of negotiating with Ikon (Koni's inheritor) for a set of springs which should be identical in fit to those that Koni offered for these shocks. The two springs rates I am considering are an 84-146lb rate or a 100-180lb rate. Ikon's shocks for the 750 typically come with the 100-180 rate but I am worried that these will be a bit too stiff for my 150lbs and my mildly stripped 750. I noticed in an earlier posting that "Hondaman" recommended a 90-120 rate from Progressive for the 750 and that the stock springs were straight 110lbs. . . . Ikon's in Australia so it won't exactly be cheap to get a set of springs sent to the US so I want to make a good decision. What do ya''ll think? Oh and if anyone has any thoughts on other spring suppliers I'm all ears. Thanks
