    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.

I'm not sure if my fork springs are stock or not, and I was hoping someone could post a pic of a stock GS100 fork spring. I know it's a long shot, but if anyone has one, I'd really appreciate it.

Or better still, how about you post a photo and we will tell you.:p
 
Looks stock but a little hard to tell for sure from that photo.

Yeah, I know. I couldn't shoot it so it showed the more tightly-wound section more clearly. They look to be in great shape; when I measured they were top of the spec. The PO did not say the bike had Progressive springs, but he had bought it from another GSer (I believe). Eli, what do you think it is; stock or Progressive (I wasn't sure which you meant). Ed, how should I shoot it to make it easier to tell? I had tried shooting it from the left end, and it showed the close-spaced coils, but not the further-spaced clearly.

sorry, i meant to say it looks like a stock one. i blame 420 for my obtuseness.

those progressive springs must be nice. i never really felt like i needed anything other than the stock springs but i'd like to try them sometime.

if you don't mind maybe someone could identify these:
