top gun 8kg rear spring

[Rick McCauley]

Hi Scott. It doesn't really raise the bike, but it is higher when you ride simply because the bike doesn't sag when you get on. I am 6' 3" tall, 35" inseam, and I weigh 285 lbs. I have the pre-load on #1 setting. I am pleased with the ride. I do not feel the need for raising links at all. You are taller than I am, but I have long legs. If your inseam is longer than mine, you may want to add raising links, but I can let my legs hang down with out touching the the road, IF I stay in the middle of the seat, and keep my toes up. At a stop, and setting in the front part of the seat, I can just touch flat footed. If you way less than I do you may want to look at the 7.4 Kg spring. It is rated for 230 to 280 lbs. Hope this helps Rick A17

I am 6'5" and need to raise my bike and was wondering how it worked out for you. Specifically, how much do you weigh? How about the dampening...was it still good after upgrading hte spring? Did you notice an increase in bike height? Do you think you still need short 'raising links'? tx - Scott 450 KMs on dirt on '04KLR in the last two days! Instant message from any web browser!

Anyone ever try them? How many miles can I get out of a set? [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
