    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Another Sonic Spring thread

Doing the entire suspension upgrade this week. Have put on new Hagon shocks on the rear and am ready to do the front end.

My concern is whether I have the wrong springs or not. I bought the 1.1 but am now thinking I should have gotten the 1.0..... Will it make a drastic difference or is it something that I will learn to get used to? Will the 1.1 be way too stiff or not?

Thanks

Your weight and riding style would be a big help in determining the answer to your question

After meeting him and watching him ride a couple of weeks ago, I would say they are both "adequate AND advanced". :encouragement:

Larry, set the preload correctly and stick with 10w oil, you should be fine.

Geared up for riding, I will hit around 210# -- when I get the opportunity I like to ride aggressively. Not much opportunity unless I leave my home area though:apologetic:.

Steve, not quite sure how to take that:confused:.
 
What I meant was that your gravitational attraction was a bit more "advanced" than the typical 160-pounder for which the bike was probably designed, and your riding style was also a bit "advanced", certainly a bit more than mine.

No offense intended there, just stating that your weight and riding style would both justify the stouter springs. :encouragement:
