Default Springs

Deamon Tweaks - I assume that a K1 is 1999 year.

There you go. BTW I am not associated with DT I just bought mine from there and they worked perfectly.

Did you not have a horrendous time getting the WPs though? Lots of delays etc?

I used Ohlins, they were fine. If you can tell the difference between any 2 springs of the same rate and type (ie linear/progressive) then you're some sort of freak So find some the right weight for you and don't worry too much about where they're from. Easy to find too, may dealers supply Ohlins. Alvins did

The Ohlins springs there are all the same rate, good for up to about 12 stone IIRC, but if you're heavier then it's worth looking elsewhere.

Its just me any product I buy takes an age to turn up... WP took about 6 weeks, Leo Vince about 3 months (first time) 2 months the second time... Its what come from not wanting to follow all the other sheep...

They come up for sale on the site fairly often, or ebay occasionally.
