Racetech 0.95kg springs & 600lb Hyperco spring
I purchased these springs during the "spring" of 2004 and had them installed in the stock valved suspension of my FZ1. I am 6ft and about 200lbs to 205lbs with gear on, the stock springs were simply not enough to deal with the load and I was dragging my foot peg feelers in the corners on a regular basis. Not a very confidence inspiring feeling .
The re-spring combination did a great job of dealing with my size and relatively aggressive street riding style. The goal was to stop dragging hard parts in the corners and be able to set a proper sag level. It worked out fine, goal accomplished. I rode with these springs for 3.5 months [about 6,000 to 7,000km's] and then decided to make the full step up to a complete Traxxion re-valve & Penske 8981 shock. So I don't need these anymore.
The Racetech fork springs are 0.95kgs and come with the spacers and spring seats. I bought them from Racetech through one of my local bike shops. The Hyperco shock spring is 7 inches long [for the stock FZ1 shock] and is the 600lb spring rate. I bought it from Max at Traxxion Dynamics.
The set cost me $335 Canadian funds before install labour, they're now being sold for $235 Canadian funds. Good score for someone looking to re-spring this winter .
PS. I forgot to add that these are already packaged up and ready to ship. So if you're interested, PM me your address & I'll find out how much it is to ground ship to your location. Paypal accepted. Thanks.

Shit happens, you gotta deal with it as best as you can under your own terms.
