Just found out from the previous owner the 'uprated' springs on my curvy are '8nm K-tec Springs'.

Don't know much about springs are they any good??

Depends how heavy you are!
I've got 8.5 springs for a rather lardy 85kg carcass.
K-tech is / are good.

What's that in stones/pounds? I am 15 stone, are 8 springs OK?

. . . a little bit light - I'm about 13 stone
Your's will still be a bit better than standard though.

Cool, obviously the previous owner bought them to suit him

Did he look like a seven stone weakling?
If so, you should have duffed him up & got your bike a lot cheaper!

Only paid £1100 for it, 1999 with 21994 miles. Not bad
