    custom wound progressive springs

    I like the idea of using a progressive rate spring for big changes in payload

    but is seems like all the "progressive" springs available don't come close to having the right spring rate, they all start and end too soft

    done some checking with FactoryConnections, I'm going to be ordering a WP4014 Fusion,

    the 4014 Emulsion is cheaper but doesn not have spring options for my weight

    actually, they're in Barrington now, 12 miles away from me instead of the 6miles at their old location

    I rode down to their building last Friday, spoke with a salesman, he emailed me back today that they can get what I want, I have to stop back down choose the spring and make the order

    I'm hopin to convince them to expand to the adventure bike market as regular items rather than the special order route

    Let us know how you like them.

    Did you do any work to the front end also?

    the Vee has a cartridge fork to begin with, not going to do any valving, but plan on doing springs & oil, the salesman @ FactoryConnection is getting me recomendations and prices for WP springs in front as well, there are a lot more options for me as far as front springs go, so I may get the front springs elsewhere
