Hey MacDaddy,MacDaddy wrote:Based on TomTom posting the different weight springs I would say that the 46-10-15-200 is the way to go. That would be the next step down from where I'm at and should be close to perfect. Well thanks to this thread, I just ordered a set from Brooks Barn thanks to TomTom. About $50 US. I went with the cheaper shipping so it might take a while to get here. I think the last set of springs cost me a little north of $100 (Ouch).

Just curious how long it took for you to receive your new springs from the UK. Mine are still sitting in Langley HWDC. Makes me a little nervous,
Thanks!

Re: Front suspension upgrade
I’m not exactly sure, but about 2 or 3 weeks ago. Yes, you might have a problem if you ordered about the same time. They did send me an email stating it could be a little longer than usual because of the Covid19 thing.

Re: Front suspension upgrade
Hi I had ordered on the 18/04. Shupped on the 21/04. Received on the 28 in Belgium. I think i got lucky before things started to get really bad in UK, don't know. Be patient, other stuff i have ordered recently is taking quite a bit of extra time...Canada is not exactly next door.

Re: Front suspension upgrade
Update. 2 days ago I contacted Brooks Barn as it had been 30 days sitting at a royal post warehouse. The have asked for an update from them and may have to ship again. They seem to be taking care of the issue!

Re: Front suspension upgrade
Ah- bad luck! Hope you'll get new ones soon. FYI i still enjoy the ride very much. I did bottom once, but that was on a speed bump at 60 Kmph, I just hate those square ones appearing all of the sudden behind cars (Guy in front did not brake, range rover). Anyway happy to report it did not give me kick up my spine as i would have expected.

Re: Front suspension upgrade
FWIW, I have YSS XL Shocks installed and yes they are a bit stiff one up, but not after I removed my seat hump and moved my center of graft aft (me arse is back farther on the saddle). I went back to a seat that pushed me forward and just moving that 2-3 inches made the ride worse, went back and it's much better mannered again.

Re: Front suspension upgrade
I just installed those on mine along with the cartridges and rear "Smooth" shocks. Easy upgrade, but measuring the fork oil was a bit of a task (had to rely on the fluid height due to lack of instructions).
It's nice not bottoming out so easily and made the ride on our horrible roads a lot more tolerable.

Re: Front suspension upgrade
I finally got mine dialed in. The top adjustments did not fit in my shock tubes so was using the original plugs. Sanded down the adjustables and had them installed along with changing the fork oil. Used the fluid height which I found online. Found out when I initially had installed the mechanic put too much oil in the tubes. It was better than stock but still sharp.Mprime wrote: ↑Tue Dec 13, 2022 10:03 amI just installed those on mine along with the cartridges and rear "Smooth" shocks.

Now though with the adjusters and correct fluid height what a difference! HUGE difference from stock!
