Who sells the best fork springs? I have some uprated ones in my LiS but I'm just overhauling the forks of my Jet and noticed that MB do a 3 stage spring, anyone using them?

Any views on chromed or stainless springs?

Cheers 8-)

Have heard its not good to use SS fork springs, and why use chrome when no one will see them inside your forks :| SR are out of stock on their progressive springs at the mo, but have used them in mine with no problem ( their a lot cheaper than other progressive springs out there too)

Thanks Dapper, I did wonder about the point of BLING on internal springs :?

I'm sure MB used to claim that they were made in the UK. Although I looked recently and there is no mention of their origin so presumably they are now sourced from outside the UK. Two and two = ?

Col, without wishing just to repeat everyone else, I've used both the SR and MB progressive ones, and I'd go MB again, even if they were twice the price.

Hard to explain why, they're not so much firmer, just a good responsive ride. In saying this, I know it's hard to compare one bike with another if you've got different dampers, rear shocks etc. Mine were on the Muggy I sold with an R6 rear shock and Escort dampers.

Looks like I'm winning the race to Gijon, if that's all you're up to anyway :frog: :D

Just how foolish are you people putting two and two together and as usual getting it wrong!

If you dont know the facts dont bother putting wrong information on a web forum.

Oh sorry you people dont actually ask the horses mouth!

The MB springs are and always have been made in the UK.
