Race Tech Fork Springs - aschem_imp - 04-23-2016
Installed them on Friday. As a 225lb rider, I can say that this has been the best $100 spent on my bike. Goes over bumps smoother and less harsh when I hit hit rough spots on the road.

Just in case anyone needs it, here's my slide show on fork spring replacement > http://www.photosbytink.com/cb1100forksprings/
I have to agree with aschem; suspension is the best upgrade you can do to your bike.

I'm really thinking of doing this mod.
I weigh a little over 200 myself and was wondering which springs did you go with?
The weight/setup calculator on their site isn't working for me.

The weight/setup calculator on their site isn't working for me. I went with the stiffest springs (1.0) and no regrets
