source for progressive rate springs
« on: January 19, 2007, 08:44:29 PM »
I missed out on an ebay auction for a new set of progressive rate springs for the front forks (CB500/550). The auction got no bids, but the seller decided to sell locally.

Is there a retail source for these sort of springs? I have almost decided to replace the stock springs with these type when I rebuild the inners and replace the seals.

What is the going rate?

   Try denniskirk.com for Progressive fork springs. That's where I got mine a few years ago.

I got mine from ACC warehouse (also known as MAW). I've heard some not so great things about them  :-\  (especially speed of shipping), but I had no problems with them myself...

Just ordered some progressive fork springs from TASclassicmotorsports.com. Not only did they come in within two days, they also included spacers cut out of pvc as well as the washers. The guys at TAS are really class acts and I would recommend them to anyone.

If you are potenially going to try to use catridge emulators I would stay away from progressive rate fork springs.
