CB750K2 Fork Springs
« on: July 09, 2015, 10:20:28 PM »
Hi everyone
Got some 60th birthday present 'Universal Vouchers' (cash!) left that's burning a hole in my pocket and only thing I don't like about the 750 is the sloppy front end due to old worn springs. Any recommendations on spring replacements.
Thanks
Phil

Progressive all the way they make a massive improvement to the handling.

Are you using those crappy springs I sent with the fork bottoms?

If you scroll right to the end of this Dropbox link (its a massive document) you will find several restoration  articles some from TANSA the VJMC magazine and I am sure there's one in there on fork tips for the CB750.

THE ARTICLE IS AT page no 1072 !!
