Called Ron and bought a set of the 40lb springs , we'll see how it goes , going to be a little work getting it back together , the good thing is I was able to put it in the lathe at work and using a live spindle to take it apart without putting my eye out .
please keep us posted, i am thinking of doing the same thing.
did Ron say if it would quiet the clicking during turns down?
I put the springs in last night using an arbor press, they actually compressed pretty easy.
You need to get over the clicking sound in a turn, it's the design. There is nothing you can do that I can think of, short of not ever turning, to stop the clicking.
He didn't go with these springs to quiet the clicking. I changed them to make it more street friendly when the road is slick , he'll see how it goes in a week or so.
