Things seem to happen a little slowly here at chez Saturn 5 but all will come to those who wait, or so they say!....No clever smutty jokes Ok?..you there Bob?
After a year of procrastination and reading up on the subject, a little green box arrived and out popped my long awaited progressive fork springs at .9kg/mm or so I ordered, no markings anywhere. I ordered progressive wind, as I wanted a little plushness as well as firmer front end. And it works just great with my 80kgs in the saddle.
There has been a little luck too as the oil, being the other half of the equation, is a bit of a shandy. I planned at a later date a full strip and polish up (careful Bob) of all the assembly, so as for now, the oil was made up with what was at hand. A little bit from here and some from there and the last 40cc withDexron 111, to end up with about a 10 wt plus or minus a bit. Hardly scientific I agree but lets say an educated guess..Ahem.
So all is good, YSS emulators ( RT Gold look-a-likes) .9kg/mm progressive springs 10wt oil (sort of) and 80kg me on the seat!
Now to fix those wooden boat anchors!
Saturn 5 (google it and be amazed) those yanks are clever!
