Message: [QUOTE="Jeff Howe, post: 966319, member: 18096"] I did a comparison of lighter springs with more preload and my regular springs with average preload. The light spring/more preload "felt" ok but the bike handled horrible. The regular spring/average preload "felt" as good BUT handled WAY better. I could never get the lighter spring/more preload setup to turn well at all and it didn't track very good either. I was always wondering just what kind of surprise the front end would throw at me next. It was completely unpredictable and down right scary at times. Put me on my head more then a few times in corners and ALWAYS wanted to climb out of ruts. So, while it may "feel" ok on the track it's not good for handling in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
