What's the story with the linear front fork springs? I upgraded my old FJ1200 with progressive springs, but that was 12 years ago, and I couldn't swear I felt a whole lot of difference afterwards.

You can buy aftermarket progressive springs (Hyperpro are good) which have better-matched spring rates.  However, for a chunky chap such as yourself, a single rate spring (ie, linear) which supports you and the bike correctly for the entire length of the spring stroke is the best way to go.

Any pointers as to where to buy them? Now I've started to buy stuff (R6 rear, Acumen horn) I'm in a spending mood!
