spring supplier
Hi, i did africa on an xt 600e last year, i heard all the old tosh about rear shocks as well, but do you know what? if you look into it and make some phone calls people only really seem to have problems with mega expensive ohlins/whitepower rear shocks because, from what i hear, there too complicated.
We fitted a 15% uprated spring rear spring to the standard shock and some progressive springs to the front and with alloy luggage and rider itcouldnt have been more perfect. We bought our rear springs from a company called D.FAULKNER SPRINGS and they were superb, we took ours off and sent them to them, they measured what the poundage was and then sent us back an uprated spring for about £30!!! the front springs were just from a mail order company as there nothing special and were £70 a pair.
Hope this helps.
Dan.
