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.
