Is it possible to replace just the front springs while the forks are on the bike? If so, what should I look out for?
I understand this isn't the best solution. I had to replace the rear shock with a new Race Tech G3 that will be installed this coming weekend. The front suspension is still stock. I would like to at least change out the springs so they are set for my weight. If possible I would use the stock spacer etc.
My goal is to rebuild the front suspension with Race Tech springs and gold valves. Due to timing and finances, I can afford springs now and will do the valves later.
What difference in ride or handling will I encounter with the new rear shock and stock front end? Is there enough difference to upgrade just the springs now? Would it be better to wait and do both springs and gold valves? What is involved in doing just the springs?
As usual, thanks for you help!
