Per recommendations from the forum, I had Race Tech .85s installed today.

Great improvement in the ride and much less dive under braking.

A side benefit has manifested itself also, the front is a smidge higher than before, which has relieved some of the pressure on my old arthritic hands...

 

Good stuff. Did you replace just the springs, or fluid as well?

 

Fluid replaced also, 10w fork oil I believe...

 

Cool. I've always been a believer that quality fluid made a difference almost as big as the springs themselves.

 

Yep Racetechs R good, but Ohlins on rear R nicer

I did both - w/ .85 - I'm thinking U weigh about 180 to 195?

 

I probably weigh 175-180 with gear on...

 

With RT .95 and PVC preload spacers at about 3.5" + 2 RT washers top and one below the spacer. I like Silolene's synthetic fluid. Started with 15 wt cut down to about 12 wt with Mobil 1 syn ATF. Fluid level for my 225+# w/gear is about 5.25" from fluid level to top of vertical tubes, springs out and forks bottomed. I run rebound about 1/8" from full in and preload at 3~4 lines showing. Eventually I'm going to have greg do his magic on the forks. A Penske 2-way shock with ride height works just about perfect for the street. The Conti Sport Attack front & Road Attack rear seem like a good match.
