OK.

What shock spring are you running?

Don't rightly know.  I called Duc Pond and they didn't keep a record of what they put on.  They just grabbed something laying on the shelf.  I'll go pull the numbers off once the snow stops.

Angler at 275# no way you are going to want a .85 spring.  I weigh in at 210 with all my gear and on my track bike with clip-ons I run a .90

If I were you I would take the path of least resistance and mount up the superbike  forks they should have .95 or 1.0 springs in them these should be closer. After you have them on check sag and then see if you want/need to change.

If you get stuck drop me a pm and I can go over some other things to look at.

That's weird as it seems almost too stiff now. Perhaps Duc Pond gave me the wrong spring rate over the phone.  I just got out to the bike and I can't find any numbers on the rear spring itself so I am still in the dark as to its rate.

Thanks ducvet and speeddog!  I'll definitely take you up on your offer ducvet, if I find some SBK forks for a decent price.  If I do the front, I'll have to get rid of that Sachs in the back.....
