help me find a spring

[tigman175]

I've decided to attempt to build a girder front end. I am looking for a coil over that is 10.5 inches long and about a 150-200lb spring rate. (At least for a starting point) Where do you brat style guys get your springs?? Or is there a site that sells springs by listing this way?? Thanks

progressive 412 or burly shocks are what most use I think. The guy at 650 central is pretty knowledgeable you may want to start there, he walked me through my shock choice. Just not to sure about the aplication you are using it for since I am some what knew to this whole chopper/bobber thing

The spring in my one girder front end is a rear shock from some older smaller motorcycle. It seems to work fine.

Look into shocks for Honda XR50. I think they are about the right length, and they can be had in some higher spring rates, due to the number of full grown jackasses that like to get drunk and wreck them. Not all of them are for the big boy suspension kits.
