I've been searching all over for info on stiffer fork springs, but everything I've been finding is in regards to replacing worn out stock springs with new stock springs to stiffen up the front. I'm looking for fork springs that are stiffer than stock. I ride spirited, and off-road, and I want something stiffer with better feel. The stock fork springs are mush. I've raised the oil level and used heavier weight oil, all with the preload maxed. They're just too soft...
Aftermarket options don't seem abundant, or very clear on whether they're actually stiffer or if they're just stock replacements. Is there a spring from another bike that drops into the '79 XS650 fork and is more stout? Somebody has had to try to stiffen the front end of these things.
Thanks, kawabunga
