Just a quick note, quite impressed with the Maxton springs (hadn't used them before) but they come with a useful amount of added pre-load on the spacers, as standard.

I think it was BillyC's bike that had them (K3 or K4 naked) linier springs, not progressive, but that's a whole other issue.

Didn't have to add anything to them. someone had thought about it when making up the kit. Nice.

Cheers Mark.
