Hey all, awhile back I did the rear spring on my ES with a 9.0 racetech spring. Amazing difference but it does highlight the front end’s needs. Get some dive and overcompensation from the front now since there’s an imbalance. I need to service my forks and figured I’d so the springs at the same time.

Anyone have a reference for fork spring make/model and rate? I used the 9.0 racetech rear as I’m pretty heavy, 265lbs in the buff. It’s about perfect- re-aligns me to the native ES rider/passenger/luggage preload settings well.
So I’m looking for some stiffer fork springs.
TIA

Contact Sonic Spring. They could probably make some specific suggestions or check out there web site. They can also make custom.

Thanks! Reached out to them. They list one spring for the ST, not sure if it fits the ES so I sent a note. They have a chart that suggests I should get a 1.05kg spring, but it seems they only sell a 1.0 or a 1.1. It's progress anyway...
