My fork seal blew out on my New Years Day ride so I am thinking about upgrading my forks as long as I will have to work on them.I was thinking about the 25mm kit but all I found was he optional springs at EBR web sight.Where do I find them and how do I figure which spring to use?Also any other suggestions on fork upgrades would be liked.Thanks.

I think they are out of those Showa cartridge kits.

Springs depend on your bodyweight, and they are often unique to the specific cartridge set you get.

Consider Traxxion AK-20s or the Ohlins kit. Both would include the knowledge you need about springs if you bought them.

I am going to be selling a set of forks with Traxxion Dynamics AK-Gas cartridges set-up with springs for a 175lb rider (incl gear).

PM me if you are interested in exploring this as an option.

Suspension dealer. Where are you located?

If you buy generals set up pair it with the ebr cheaper show shock and a 575 spring on it

GP Suspension has a 25mm kit, I had them installed in my 1125r. Geoff May referred them to me, he preferred the 25mm kit over the Ohlins 30mm, problem is Ohlins is not making the 25mm kit any more, but GP suspension is. You can look the up on the internet, they are out of Oregon. Did a good job I am satisfied with their work.
