£ send off your standard springs and tell them what drop you want. £150 all in iirc.

Or just slap a set of nova springs in. :twisted:

Ta I knew of them but didnt have their address anymore.

Dont think they'll be too impressed with my standard springs anymore lol.

Who do people here buy their lowering springs off? 60 all round wouldnt be the end of the world.

Can't say where people get theirs from but Hath got a set of 60mm drop ones off german egay for a pretty reasonable price. I havent been able to find any lower than 60mm 'off shelf'.

Doddy's got a set of lowered saloon springs going spare, weitec jobbies. 50mm iirc. On a touring they should give a bit more of a drop. Want me to get a price?

I have just found some -60mm's for £59 brand new on the bay. I dont really wanna buy unless I get proper low as I have those -30mm springs I can cut down if needed but I vaguely remember emailing this ebay seller when I had my last tourer and he said he would do -80mms for the same price.

its 100/85 now. winkeye

I like to think I'm doing the world a favour. I must have taken a good inch or so off the top of that speedbump on the way into the campsite. Gradually, mm by mm, I am ridding the world of the pestilence that is speedbumps. :twisted:

KW do 60/40 for a tourer, its what mine is running. Although I have the full kit. I bought them from a Zoner who bought them direct from Germany
