I hear that on the pricing; That's actually what got me wondering. I noticed that there was only one damper part number, but multiple different springs; I guess there isn't a valving difference, just a spring rate difference. For a 13" shock, you get either 90/130 or 105/150. I'm kinda a fatarse, I'll probably go with the 105/150 especially since I'm usually packing luggage.
However, on that same page (1993 Honda CB750 Nighthawk) they only have a single set of springs available as "fitting" the bike, so I'm wondering what people mean when they say to get fork springs "sized appropriate your weight." I suppose I could go trawling through their spec sheet for springs of the same length with different rates, but I was hoping someone who had done this could chime in. At a glance, part number 11-1145 fits in terms of free length (18"), diameter (1.35" OD) but is 40/65 versus 11-1126's 30/50. Sounds like that would make for a fairly significant stiffening! -Kurt On Wed, Mar 14, 2012 at 6:08 PM, surfswab <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm planning this switch for my 750.
