Greg,
I believe that they were WP springs but don't quote me on that.

Thanks Bruce. Do you know what brand those were or if Moto International
manufacutered 'em themselves?

Greg, I put a set of Moto Int. progressive front fork springs in my Eldo and it was a big difference between the OE set. The front end did not bottom out as much and was much smoother. These springs needed about 1.5" of preload (from a 1.5" diameter PVC pipe) added. The OE springs also had preload PVC pipe as well. The 50 wt. motor oil I use for fork oil helps with dampening oscillations.

Has anybody here used them? Are they significantly better than simply adding preload and heavier fork oil to the stock fork springs? Regards, Greg Bender |
