fork springs, which side is upside and downside?
« on: June 14, 2011, 07:27:37 am »
Hello all.
This is the fork spring from a CB550 K3. As you can see, one side has an almost conical shape, and the other one is straight. Which one goes upside and downside?
Thank you.

The "straight" side goes down.
