springs for extended swingarm
I put on a 1000lb spring on the bike . It is 64" right now and I weigh 250 suited up. the 800 lb spring was too soft for me and the bike really squatted alot. 1000 lb spring does much better, even on my bumpy driveway.
and for 54 bucks , I dont mind have a a few different ones :-)

oooh shit... now you're going to get flamed because they "don't work". lol
I'm running an eibach 13.8kg/in spring and it works great for me at 180 lbs.

I can tell a little difference with the 13.8 spring, but my next purchase for the bike will be a revalved shock.

Is your shock revalved as well or just the spring? I'm about the same size as you and at 64" as well. Just curious how it rides.

i'm just running the spring at 63.5". It stiffened the ride up and allowed me to ride around with the bike slammed without having to worry about hitting the fuel pump on the swing arm. It does come up a little faster than i would like for it to on my launch, but it stays squatted past the 60ft mark so it's getting the job done okay I guess. I've gone 1.42 on it with my average being about a 1.45. I only got to race 3 times since stretching the bike, so I don't have a huge amount of feedback on it. Oh yeah, i'm running 16/46 gearing.
