I know there are loads of threads on this but most are old and I wanted an up to date answer on linear or progressive springs

99 sv650N with rider weight of 12-13 stone in birthday suit (varies when homebrew is available

) so what's my options (no high cost options please as I'm always skint) and where do I buy them?

I'm not a fast or hard rider and don't do track days and have had my sv for 8 years and never changed fork oil or stripped them so have no idea what's inside them yet until I open them up. So I'm gathering info for when I do. The reason I'm looking into it all is the dust seals are being pushed out by rust so will need to look into that anyway.

Thanks in advance
