    "Sonic springs" custom springs for GSX750ES front dampers

    A year ago somebody recommended a valued company in this forum ,called "sonic springs", that makes custom springs for front dampers.
    You basically give them the Make, model, year of your motorcycle + How many burgers you eat a day (your weight) and they custom build the spring for you.
    The other day I purchased from them springs for my GSX750ES.
    The springs sat down in my workshop for more than a year untouched.
    Today when I decided to continue with my restoration project I was disappointed to find that the springs are 1mm thicker than the stock ones and actually don't fit in.
    How come ? What should I do ?
    The option of having them machined in a local shop seems to me much less reasonable than having the springs + the stock ones (as reference) sent back to sonic springs...I somehow don't trust local shops in my area and I fear that the integrity and accuracy of the springs will be damaged.

    Send a polite email to the proprietor of Sonic Springs, Rich. He's a real person, and he's also a real nice person too.

    The application data for older motorcycles is often highly suspect. I bet if you offer to help Rich sort out exactly what springs are correct for your particular bike, he'll work out some sort of deal with you.

      I sent Rich an email. He said he'll send me the next down size free of charge.
      Really, an adorable guy...
