Maybe if some one is doing this modification …(Oily)… can compare the springs.


...After some very exhaustive, technical, scientific experiments involving string, bricks, tape measure and a spring balance...I conclude that...I don't know either Laughing

I think, maybe my zx9 springs are not standard because they are progressive wound but in the compression test, they compress a fraction less (%) than the Paioli springs but they are 4 1/2" shorter Question
I'm guessing that there is not going to be a lot in it but we will soon see when the sun arrives Wink

Sometimes technical science isn’t easy, only the brave will try. Smile

We will see when the bike is finished and the sun is shining again. Wink
