#22431 BlkCherryBomb (User) If I do it today, then what is tomorrow for? Junior Boarder Posts: 185 changing rear spring - shock mods needed? 1 Year, 7 Months ago   Hey I'm hoping someone who has upgraded to a stiffer rear spring can help me on this. I went to buy a spring and I had two different dealers tell me I need to have the shock revalved at the same time or it will be like riding on a pogo stick. Anyone out there do this, or did you just swap out the spring and call it good? While I'm at it, anyone have a spring they recommend? I was looking at the 930 lb eibach spring that Barons sells. Thanks and Happy Easter.

Didn't do anything to the shock and it deffinetly is not a pogo stick. It cured all my bottoming out issues two up and almost cured dragging my pipes when getting a little to aggressive in the twisties   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #22439 Cougar (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2662 Re:changing rear spring - shock mods needed? 1 Year, 7 Months ago   Welcome to the clinic Rbucket......didnt Looneys offer you a tool to supress the spring while you change it for a deposit.... refundable when the tool is returned....and Blk ,Jungle Bear bought the Barons spring and seemed satisfied ....he had someone install it for him .....Coug   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #22448 rbucket (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 2 Re:changing rear spring - shock mods needed? 1 Year, 7 Months ago   Thanks for the welcome Coug. 40+ years on cycles, new to this computer stuff. I guess as my son says, Dad you aren't that old!! Yes Looneys offers a spring supressor for loan to install their spring. Seem like some real good folk to deal with. Their spring is the best, no doubt mod I have done yet on the R*.

Junior Boarder Posts: 185 Re:changing rear spring - shock mods needed? 1 Year, 7 Months ago   Thank you Cougar and rbucket for the responses. I'm going to go with that Looney progressive spring. Seems perfect for what I need. Luckily I already have a spring compression tool so it should be a fairly straightforward swap.
