Always bought mine from Harris as they are the importers makes life easy.

Tried ftr said they didn't do them,

Found another bloke cant remember. But said he'd find out about stock.



Found motorsport race prep firm who say they can get them made bespoke for �80. They just need the exact size of spring.....



Who new its be so hard, rang loads of places

A few thoughts about progressive fork springs...
 

FYI - You can get Ohlins springs for the X from Off The Road in Germany. They are about �80 plus delivery, which is about �8 if I recall.

Hi, if I get the time planning to fit Hyperpro progressive springs front and rear to my Z this wkd

Anyone got any top tips or lessons learnt that are not in the instructions??

Also has anyone got any associated settings they have used. I am 15 and half stone.

Cheers

Phil

I checked off the road, they said ohlins arnt recommended for 90+ kill rider n recommended the hyperpro ?

Reading around seems to me ohlins are a better option, but ....



Confused.......com

That's just plain bizarre? :sad1:

If they don't recommend them, then why sell them? If they're that dangerous why do Ohlins, the world's premier suspension brand, even make them?

Maybe there's just more profit margin in the Hyperpro...

I have read that the hyper pro is thicker and stronger.

A few thoughts about progressive fork springs...
 

They (progressive springs) are only made of larger diameter windings so they can achieve their maximum (end) rate, which is higher than that of a comparable linear spring. The "strength" of the spring steel is more related to its quality, much less so its thickness, unlike mild steel. Thickness is just one of several factors involved in achieving the desired spring rate in a coil (coil spacing being the other major factor). A spring's "strength" (that at which it will break) and its "rate" or not directly related; you can have a weak spring with a high rate and a strong spring with a low rate.
