Fork springs

Post by JeCarter »

So I want to get a stiffer frot end but don't have the money to buy say an yzf front so I'm asking what is better: Progressive springs or race tech springs. I'm asking for overall ride and handling. Thanks

Race tech. Also, I have a set of 400 forks I'm selling for $200 plus shipping that have racetech springs in them with new oil and new seals. Saves you the hassle of downtime. The forks are the same and will bolt right up and use the 90+ calipers.

That's the hard part. I don't. I believe it was for a 170ish rider based on how the rear shock was setup. I know they are stiff for me and I'm about 150.
