Default Fork springs, Where from?

Where can I buy fork springs from?

Peferably from someone who keeps them in stock.

I have tried K-Tech and for the second month running they have stated that "they were ordered two weeks ago and take about four weeks to come, so try again in a couple of weeks"

Hagon? Or are you after a specific brand?

Mine turned up within 2-3 day IIRC, was a while ago though.

EDIT,
forgot you've got a gsxr front on the bike :/

I rang Reactive Suspension up, the guy I spoke to was helpful and informative.

He has the 0.9 springs in stock and a 475 spring the correct size aswell.
When he asked what the were for, he recommended 0.95 up front and 500 on rear,
I told him I had 1.0s in the front. His reply was to leave the front, check sag and put 525 on shock, "you may be able to get that to work" he said and did himself out of a £175 sale.

I have checked the sag,
20mm bike and 35mm rider (approx, only gave it a quick measure)
and thats with the preload adjusters wound right out.

I now remember that PDQ also sell racetech springs.

I got ktech springs for my srad following day from BROOK suspension a small shop in Queensbury, Bradford. After being messed about/ignored for about 2 week by maxton and kais. As there was not a specific spring listed for 600srad he compared dimensions and they worked out to be same as honda vtr sp1 so just ordered weight I wanted. job done.
