Fork springs
Looking to refresh the front end in the coming weeks including renewing the fork springs. Do any of you have any experience of the different makes available as a direct comparison?

Re: Fork springs
I got Hagon for my 400. One of the reasons was there wasn't anyone doing 400 springs (in the Uk at that time at least) but with Hagon I could talk to a techy guy there who spent some time on the phone to me going over the parameters and we in the end went for progressive 1st gen SV650 with some longer spacers at the top.
So for no other reason than you can call them and hopefully go through what you want with them, I'd try Hagon.

Re: Fork springs
I swapped out the front springs on Skruffy Kat for some Hagon progressive ones and upped the viscosity of the fork oil, as per “The Fying Banana”. Aunty Dive modulators in place but with the actuators replaced with screw adjusters set to minimum interference.

I’ve still got the original springs that you’re welcome to have if you want….

Re: Fork springs
Cheers guys, I've still got the standard springs and they are still within tolerance but as I'm servicing the fork oil and brakes I thought I would take the opportunity to bring the springs into the 21st century!!
I've used Hagon for the back end, just wondering if anyone has experience of other alternatives like Hyperpro, YSS etc
