Front Fork spring position

Hi,
    Apart from oil mist/leakage, you will loose "static" air pressure inside the fork legs which affects damping and rebound,( some bikes have adjustable air pressure settings), put them on one at a time!-Ken

Tight coils to  the top for hagon springs, I have just fitted these myself to my 500K1. here is a link to hagon-shocks fitting instruction http://www.hagon-shocks.co.uk/common/pagedetail.aspx?PageCode=setup

Makes sense. Less unsprung weight.
