[size=1em]It seems that Kais can only supply [/size]Ohlins [size=1em]linear fork springs for the FZS 600 up to 8.0 N/mm, they not quite heavy enough, as fully togged ready to ride with my bucket on I am fractionally under 89 Kilos.[/size]
[size=1em]I have been really helped advice wise with this project by Kabab19. [/size]
[size=1em]He has put me onto Ohlins Suzuki SV 650 linear springs at 8.5 K/mm, more suited for my rider weight.[/size]
[size=1em]The springs are 30mm longer than the FZS 600 jobbys, but this can be compensated for by cutting the top steel spacer down in length by that amount.[/size]
[size=1em]Well actually as I am doing the fork conversion over to emulator compression.[/size] I will have to reduce that spacer down by 49.5mm in total to allow for the addition of the emulator that is 19.5 mm deep it where sits between the top of the Damper Rod and the base of the spring.
Other than the length, the SV650 springs are identical to the Fazer FZS600 springs.
[size=1em]So A BIG [/size][size=1.35em]T[/size][size=1.35em]hank you [/size]to Kebab19 for pointing me in the right direction in acquiring the parts I need, and, for all his useful posts on the Foc-u forum pertaining to front fork upgrading.
