Suspension?

[dino2003]

We will be using the ST1300 primarily for two up. The wife and I together are about 450#.

What are the options for front springs and rear springs/shock?

Thanks in Advance,

Dino, ST noob

Sonic springs in front are a good option. Sonic doesn't make a rear spring but HyperPro does, I've heard it may not be as stiff as you need. Not sure about other spring only suppliers. The ultimate solution would be an aftermarket rear shock, such as a Penske, but of course those are pretty spendy. You might try contacting http://www.racetech.com/ to see what they recommend. Folks seem to have a pretty positive experience with them.

RaceTech offers stiffer rear springs and revalves the OEM shock body supposedly to the new spring rate for about $500.

Race tech might be the way to go. At least that is the way I am going to go this winter. I have found that I might need to go to a sonic front spring and have race tech rework the front forks and then totally new system for the rear from race tech!!

But others have had good things to say about the penske rear shock/spring.
