Save your cash and stop eating all the pies.......hope this helps.

If not any of the big names should be fine it's all a matter of preference, I agree with Spanner Man about Hagons, not heard a bad word said against them. But most people would feel a vast improvement over 10 year old standard fodder being replaced by a good spring and new oil.

I have Bitubo linear springs and 15wt oil in mine and they're great for me and I'm no light weight. But what works for me, might not for you. My rear shock is up to the max and forks dropped by 3mm. Linears can feel hard but my frontend is loaded up. Progressive springs in idiot speak have a stiff end and a soft end, they're designed to soak up the smaller bumps on the road, but you'll get a bit more initial dive. Most people find linear spring too harsh for the road. If you are planning on riding with a pillion stick with progressive. I feel linears work best if you really load up the front end. Having a pillion would shift the weight backwards and your bike won't handle.

But best go to a company with as much info as you can about the type of rider you are and the roads you ride, be honest your surname ain't Rossi. These guys deal with lots of bikes, how many people on here can boast the same. You may find with a stiffer front end your tyres will get worked harder. Good tyres will work better because of this, bad ones may feel worse.
