Ryca's Progressive front springs
12/10/13 at 17:35:07
I've seen two Ryca cafe racers side by side, one with stock fork springs the other with Progressives, and the one with the Progressives was taller in the front. Has anyone else noticed this? Is it normal?

My vote is yes, it's normal because the Progressive spring is stiffer throughout its travel. The weight of the bike at rest will compress the stiffer spring less. Maybe?

The Progressive springs ARE stiffer. With lots of weight on your arms, wrists, and hands because of the clip-ons, when you hit railroad tracks and other bumpy stuff, you have to keep your mouth closed or you'll lose the fillings that just came loose.
I'm thinking of wearing a boxing mouth protector to keep the lower teeth from repeatedly slamming into the upper teeth.

If you think there's good in everyone, you haven't met everyone.

They are indeed very stiff; enough so that when I get around to it this winter I am going back to the stock springs with perhaps a little bit more preload on them and with 20 wt oil.
