I'm about to install some new Sonic springs in my 80 GS1100E forks, any of you GSRers done this yet? I about freaked when I saw how much shorter the Sonic springs were, so I called, and was told it was the norm lol. Just follow the instructions with the springs. Thought I would ask if anyone has done this swap yet and any thoughts you could share on yours.

Well anyways, I'm leaving the air valve on the forks and using them for spacers for the headlight mounts, if I don't I would have to make some spacers, so just leave them on and not use them, I plugged off the hole though.
If it wasn't for some cotton BT testing this morning I would sneak into the shop and install the springs lol.sigpicMrBill Been a GSR member on and off since April 2002

UpDate on my Sonic springs
Got the springs installed. They seem to be working great! Funny thing is the fork tube preload adjustment caps hardly have any tension on them. I followed the instructions to the word (using my correct measurements). I don't have a lot of preload on them and they work just fine.sigpicMrBill Been a GSR member on and off since April 2002
