[QUOTE="DEANSFASTWAY, post: 574839, member: 31309"] Hi MXBUNDY , It might be easier with just a progressive spring . It would sure open up another degree of tunability if you could change part of the spring rate for different tracks What would really be cool is if you could easily change linkage ratios. On quads youve almost got to be an engineer to figure out the spring rates with swingarm A/ARM length and such They also use spring depession limiters to tailor a curve to where the next rate spring comes in.You know On Quads they do some really trick stuff .I am kicking around the idea of starting a project with Mr Wilkeys influence to utilize WP PDS on linkage less Quad ATV rear ends A local swing arm builder as well . Jeremy probaly knowsmore than anyone in the US about WP and Ohlins PDS and he has some really trick stuff at hand to experiment with. Well probably use dual springs with a limiter or a Version of a PDS Spring. PDS systems are totally position sensitive as are their springs( WP anyway) KAW used alot of progressive springs lately but lots of people scrapped them In certain situations I think they are grand. White Bros sells triple rate fork spring kits but I would think that in a forks(esp new style cartrige forks) enclosed situation all those spring ends and spacers and washer probably could cause some rubbing issues but I have never tried them so I shoulnt speculate.Maybe you could try to find something used and cheap to try out and experiment with.Are you thinking for the CRF? Front or Rear? Mr Wilkey is out of headquarters at an event this weekend doing service but maybe someone from the spring industry will come in and shine a light .GOODLUCK [/QUOTE]
