Title: s40 forks Post by bill67 on 09/18/07 at 14:22:48 has anyone change the fork spring for a better ride

Title: Re: s40 forks Post by Savage_Greg on 09/19/07 at 08:53:45 Only thing that I've done is add a 3/8" spacer to each spring as an additional preload. Don't know if it's really worth it...do know it's harder to screw the fork cap on :P
