Original fork springs
« on: 28 September 2014, 05:38:56 pm »
Does anyone have a picture of the original fork springs for the box eye 600 (2000 model)? I want to know if they are the same along the length or if the coils are more condensed to one end...


I have stripped mine twice now and changed the oil twice, so I know what I have. I just want to know if they are the original units or if they have been changed out at some point.


Thanks
Not quite sure what to do with my early mid-life crisis. Ideas on a post card to P.O.BOX 150...

I think original springs are progressive so should be coiled closer at one end.
More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.

kebab19 explains here, and just reading what he says also explains why 15w oil makes such a difference as the springs seemingly aren't heavy duty enough.
