New fork springs

[PieEater]

Yup it's a minefield alright. In your shoes I guess I would be looking at the HyperPro progressive springs which is what you mentioned at the outset. They will be plusher and less harsh when you are out with your mates on a leisurely  ride but still be considerably better than the stock springs as and when you pick up the pace. I would still suggest a lighter oil than 10w, maybe 7.5w but you could contact HyperPro and see what they say given the damping on the Fazer is a bit harsh. I'd make sure the bushes and dust seals are replaced as part of the service,  they won't add much to the cost.
