Default Fork Spring Length

Hi Folks,

Just a quick question. Does anyone know the length of the OEM fork springs?
I am going to upgrade mine but I can't seem to find the length anywhere on the net.

Thanks

Just measured my old OEM springs, they are 420mm with a 50mm spacer.

My Hagon progressive replacements eliminate the spacer, so they must be 470mm.

Hope that helps.

Progressive Springs kits come with correct spacers.

TBT, I'm going for linear frk springs suited to the bike and my weight and probably Race Tach Gold Valves. I intend to keep the bike until I either can't ride or it is totally wiped out. So might as well get the best out of it and for it.
