Anyone have a rear shock spring that is a 550# rate. It is the common Penske/Ohlins style 2.25" ID and needs to be around 5.5" to 6.5" long. Thanks a bunch for looking through your spares. I just figured I have a 475# and 650# laying around, so someone might have the one I need laying around?

If you guys work something out I'll be south on Friday and Saturday this week and can bring it for you.

I've got a 550# or 600# TITANIUM spring... :shock:

It's like 47 lbs lighter than a steel spring.

$200 obo (and by obo, like $50 would be fine.)

Well I added 1/2 qt of extra oil to make it more "slippery" but that didn't work out very well... :oops:

Carrying the extra spring around on my keychain, even though it was Ti, and looked cool, didn't help either. So I'm selling it.

I was wondering what that was hanging from your bike...

We ended up finding some other issues with the suspension also, and Dave at STM took care of everything. It worked much better at R4. Thanks for the offer though Rybo, that was very generous.

Tbag, If you have the 600# I would be interested in it, as we are currently trying out the 650#.

Dave, when you have the talent tbag has, you don't need Ti springs, just some Icy Hot after T7. hehe.

Hey Fellas,
So who ended up with these springs? The winter has not been that good to me and well I should probably set the rear shock up 'right'. Need something in the 600 to 650 range, 1.10 ohlins rt shock.
