Linear springs for K3
 
I finally have a GSX-R rear shock for my K3 now (ebay, 30£ :D ), so now i must find springs for the forks. I'm planning to use 15wt oil.

I only seem to find progressive spring from the known manufacturers (WP, Hyperpro,..) but i'm not a big fan of progressive springs. Where can i find linear springs for a K3. I know Ohlins has some for the curvy model, but not for the K3, K4, K5.

I was under the impression Ohlins did some for the K3.
I've had Maxton springs recommended. They come with a nice spacer to drop the preload right where it should be with no messing about.

Thanks,

does maxton has a website/webstore ?

What oil are you guys using

I heard of Ohlins springs being fitted to a K3, but they are actually springs for a K2 with spacers. I don't like that.

True, when we did the dismantling of the 5000, both myself and Mark were impressed with the Maxton bits, nice rate spring with the supplied spacer already just about right for the great majority of persons.

They do, but there isn't really anything about them on there.
