Hi
One of the most important things to me on a bike is the suspension - it can either make or break an otherwise good bike. I plan to upgrade the front springs on my DR650 but am confused as most people at a four way stop. For the riding that I do (typically off road touring) I am happy with the rear shock. Looking through some of the threads I seem to get the impression that most people think progressive springs are the way to go. I have a mate in the USA so I can get him to order Eibach springs from Kientech but do not really know what rate is the best - I weigh 90kg on a beerless day. It would be really nice to get this project right the first time.
Any thoughts, comments or experiences would be appreciated.
