You looking to buy new or are you talking about the old OEM pogo sticks?
If they are used and original, odds are you don't want to use them.

They will fit but that's not saying much.

TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, YES, THEY WILL FIT.

ALSO, YOUR CAPS LOCK SEEMS TO BE STUCK. YOU MAY WANT TO TAKE IT TO A TECHNICIAN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, OR BUY A NEW KEYBOARD. :)

Do you do progressive fork springs too mate? I've just scored a set of 35mm Ceriani's from Mick Herdman, but I don't like the "double spring" setup, and standard CB750 springs go straight in, so a set of progressives would be ideal. Let me know mate? Cheers, Terry. ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

To Havoc Turbo: Do you have the complete shock or just the springs?  My collars and shock body are all rusted. I have used Progressive on my VTX. Sorry to sound computer illiterate but I don't know what PM means.

To MLINDER: Thanks , that was very helpful. especially the part about my keyboard lol,

Mick

G'Day Mick, well I pulled 'em apart and to be honest, there was nothing in them that would stop them from working normally, the "outer" springs are way too soft on their own so the forks need the "inner" springs to take any load, and there are some smallish (around 30mm long) alloy "pre-tensioners", but I think that the tubes were just stuck from sitting? I cleaned everything, re-assembled them, added 200 cc's of ATF to each leg (same as what came out of them) and linished the staunchions, and now they work fine.

I'd still like some progressive springs for 'em, but haven't heard back from HT yet, but if he's got some I'll buy 'em and see how well they work, I had a set in my 1975 Kawasaki Z900 and they felt a lot better than the OEM springs. Cheers, Terry. ;D
