K-Tech linear springs. Heavier rating to firm up front end. Drop in fit on K3 onwards, no need to cut spacers. Cost £72 in postage, used for about a month!

£50 including postage.

Do these fit a curvy if spacers are cut then?

Roughly what rider weight are they for?

Cheers,
Phil

I've no idea if they would fit a curvey I'm afraid. The part number is:35-425-85, so maybe an internet trawl might give you the answer, or a call to K-tech on:01530 810625

I'm 10st and I had the preload adjusters wound right out on my bike to achieve the correct sag. I would say an 11st rider plus would suit them.

can i ask why your selling them?

Of course!

I think the spring rate was too high for my body weight (hence using minimum preload on the adjusters) so instead I got a pair of emulators and a pair of Ohlins 0.80 springs to go with them. More supple and suits me better. Alright it's not going to trouble a GSXR in the twisties but then it wouldn't with me on it anyway!

These springs would improve the feel over the standard shocks but are probably best suited to someone heavier than me IMO.

HTH.

Found their spec sheet on the K-Tech site.

And nope, they don't fit

I couldn't find it when I looked. Doh!

Ah well.
