ive just spoke to UK Suspension in keighley about sorting out my front end, they recomended K tech springs over Ohlins as the Ktechs come in different rates

so you can get the right one for your wheight, i assume this means Ohlins only come in one rate?

,

im 20 stone

, and the prob i have with the front is that with the preload set quite high, the front is harsh and skips,jumps on rough surfaces.

they said £60 for the springs and £10 for the oil, and theyd work out the right oil and springs for my wheight,

or if i took the bike to them £140 for them to fit them and put new seals in.,

is it worth me doing it myself? or for the sake of £70 take the bike in?
oh they said that the springs are single rate, apparently one of the probs with the sv is that they have progressive springs as stock which resemble the spring out of a biro..

any thoughts?
