    As far as I can see the spring part numbers are not the same. But I will compare the springs, when I get to that part of the bike. If the springs are the same size but the VFR are beefier, then I will start out using the VFR’s.
    Then I will see how it rides, before trying other springs:)

    Thanks for this info. I’m about the same weight as you, so I’d probably benefit from about the same rates. I will check the measurements that you gave, when I get the bike assembled again :)

    Not the stock springs, the RT springs! Also, the VFR .74 stock springs are not recommended unless you weigh 60 lbs.

    Modifiers:
    Riding Type: Street
    Skill Level: Intermediate/B Class
    Stiffness Preference: Standard Stiffness
    Tire Stiffness: Standard Tire
    HFR Rebound: No HFR Rebound Valve
    Lowering: Not Lowered
    Rider Weight: 60

    FRONT FORK SPRINGS
    Recommended Front Spring Rate: 0.75 kg/mm (Spring unavailable, please call)
    Stock Front Spring Rate: 0.74 kg/mm (stock)

    Your sag numbers will never come in using stocks springs, you will have to use WAY too much preload to get rider sag close.
