Title: fork springs
Post by: Rich on 27.04. 2019 20:05

can anyone tell me how to tell what length the different fork springs are, the previous owner informed me that he fitted sidecar spring, a friend has given me a bag of springs in the hope that there is a pair of solo springs.

Thank you, out of the bag of springs there were only one pair of solo springs, but hey thats all I need, on my previous A10, Super Rocket, I had eddy dow dampers and progressive springs, with a twin leading shoe front brake, no such luxury's now, just a bog standard Gold Flash. Hopefully it will be a bit stronger than the tuned Super Rocket engine  and easier on the pension.  *smile* *smile*
