    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.

Hello , I have a 1985 gs1100g without the air valves on the front forks and I am about to order some fork springs . What spring rates are people running successfully , also noticed the gs1100 gk and gs 1100 have different part numbers are they different length springs? Thanks for any help , great information on here , lots to learn
 
RichDesmond a member here is the owner of sonic springs pm him or he may pick up your post and reply
 
The difference between the part numbers may just be the length of the springs, as is the case with the 850's. My springs came with a length of some sort of thick walled plastic pipe to cut the appropriate length spacer for the '83 850G forks. Honestly, I was surprised at how quick the springs showed up. I ordered on Monday and they arrived on Wednesday of the same week, but I'm here in the US.

Rich Desmond sold the company a short while back, BTW.

The GK has bigger forks, and takes a bigger diameter spring.
1.0kg/mm springs work well for most people, but if you’re a really big guy and/or are aggressive in the twisties then the 1.1s may be better for you.

As mentioned, I sold the company a little while ago, but the new owner is a good guy and very knowledgeable. You can contact him through the Sonic Springs web page.
