front fork compression springs
« on: September 29, 2014, 02:00:13 PM »
i am looking to swap out my original compression springs up on my front fork. does anybody have a lead on a manufacturer or model spring that is an exact or very similar replacement? i'm not sure if i wanna go with black or chrome on the springs.

thoughts? leads?

What is wrong with the ones you have?  Wayne sells reproductions, in either chrome or unfinished, I believe.  I have an original set in black powder coat, if you want to go in that direction.

You can call Wayne on every part on the Simplex!

...and don't forget the little cone-shaped centering washers that ride on top of the springs so you don't wear out the steel rods that are inside the fork springs.
