I got them from hagons direct 67 quid thereabouts.
I was changing the fork oil anyhow so I thought I'd do the springs; oil is included.
I have a gsxr600 rear shock to put on as well and I just know that I will be doing a front end swap if I like the feel of it all
Those upside down forks look very tasty with lowers on

I went Ohlins linear springs and 15w ohlins oil (and preload adjusters). Worked out great on road and track, I'm about 80 kgs without leathers, but it all depends on your riding style etc.

Although I fitted a Hagon rear shock/spring combo at the back at the same time and was mighty impressed by the overall change.

Hagon Progressive Fork Springs for your bike are priced at £67.50
including VAT and free UK delivery, except Northern Ireland, which
incurs a £15.00 surcharge.



Each kit is supplied complete with Hagon fork oil and full fitting
instructions.
The oil I had was a 10 weight and the airgap is changed to 95mm from the standard.

I dont recall them asking me my weight so I guess this is what you get.

To split the two you are talking serious pushing of everything else. More down to how well they know the rest of your setup than a difference between makes.

I bought mine from Wemoto, but you don't get the free fork oil. So £67 is a good price I think.

I put in 15w oil, but this is too harsh for my 69kg (10st)
