[QUOTE="shed, post: 584525, member: 27001"] bottoming coils should be no problem - dont the KTM rising rate springs do this anyway? What about using a stack of belleville washers in series with the main spring as a cheap way to get the dual rate? This would allow you to easily vary the spring rate of the stack by adding or removing bellevilles, and they will compress flat. The only problem is that they may not give enough travel. another suggestion is to run the springs in parrallel with one spring inside the other with a gap to the second spring. This gives the same "dual rate" effect as the springs mounted in series, but it may be qucker and easier to adjust the point at which the second spring is engaged. Formula for this is S(total) = S(1)+S(2). OR you could run a standard single spring, and find a monster bump rubber - after all, you are only looking for bottoming resistance. The easy way to adjust the position at which these are effective is by adding a nylon shim between the bump rubber and the shock top. [/QUOTE]
