Sonic Springs - Two Thumbs Up!
I just got a pair of Sonic springs (.95) installed this weekend. Rich shipped them super fast, helped me with questions, and they feel so much better than the progressive springs that were installed (they don't dive on braking, they don't feel any harsher than the progressives, and they feel more stable in curves). I give them 2 thumbs up!1982 GS1100E "Jolene"Tags: None

Yep, I'm a big fan too. All my bikes are wearing Sonic straight-rate fork springs.

Mine is the only one in our stable with Sonics (so far), and have been impressed enough to install them on my son's 1000G, which still has stock springs.
The two "L" bikes have Progressive fork springs, so there is no rush, as they are at least upgraded from stock.

My 1.0's are on order now. Should be a huge difference from the 34 year old soft stockers.https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9zH8w8Civs8ejBJWjdvYi1LNTg&resourcekey=0-hlJp0Yc4K_VN9g7Jyy4KQg&authuser=fussbucket_1%40msn.com&usp=drive_fs

Another happy customer here, rich called me at home and we talked about what springs I needed for a while, installed them and couldn't be happier

I guess I'll pile on the Sonic Springs testimonial thread.
I finally got to put 12 miles on my forks with the new Sonic Springs. I don't give them much of a work out, just a few miles up and down the street. So far they are a big improvement over what I had before.
Thanks for the great product.

I believe the sonics are considerably less expensive too. Finally, we have access to the owner of the company here.

Installed my Sonics yesterday. Went for a nice 40 mile test ride. They feel great! Dialed in my Hagons on the rear and it feels like a completely different bike. I used to have a lot of dive and bounce, but no more. Gives me a much more confident feel.https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9zH8w8Civs8ejBJWjdvYi1LNTg&resourcekey=0-hlJp0Yc4K_VN9g7Jyy4KQg&authuser=fussbucket_1%40msn.com&usp=drive_fs
