    Picture of 79 GS1000 stock fork springs

    I'm not sure if my fork springs are stock or not, and I was hoping someone could post a pic of a stock GS100 fork spring. I know it's a long shot, but if anyone has one, I'd really appreciate it.

      That works! Hope it's clear enough for anybody to tell.

          Looks stock but a little hard to tell for sure from that photo.

            Yeah, I know. I couldn't shoot it so it showed the more tightly-wound section more clearly. They look to be in great shape; when I measured they were top of the spec. The PO did not say the bike had Progressive springs, but he had bought it from another GSer (I believe). Eli, what do you think it is; stock or Progressive (I wasn't sure which you meant). Ed, how should I shoot it to make it easier to tell? I had tried shooting it from the left end, and it showed the close-spaced coils, but not the further-spaced clearly.

                  sorry, i meant to say it looks like a stock one. i blame 420 for my obtuseness.

                  those progressive springs must be nice. i never really felt like i needed anything other than the stock springs but i'd like to try them sometime.

                  if you don't mind maybe someone could identify these:
