Title: Shock spring
Post by: shrekster on 21 July 2013, 04:39:20 pm

Hi, can anyone tell me what the code means on K-Tech springs, i assume the 95N part of the code relates to the weight, if so what is that in pounds??

95 Newtons per mm is 542 lbs/in.

These (http://www.dfaulknersprings.com/) peeps are a better bet if you know what you want, and you can have it in yellow if you'll wait a week or so...............and it will be 1/2 the price of k-tech

just looked.............£27.20+vat and postage

Yes I have bought a spring from them previously, they supply Maxton and for that reason wouldn't do one in purple as it's their colour. My mate who is about the same weight as me got a spring from K-Tech and they recommend a 95N spring. The Ohlins website has some good info regarding spring rates. Thanks for the help.
