Title: New member from Indy
Post by: jbk on April 01, 2026, 04:34:21 PM: New member from Indy. Had an 87 K100RS that I restored a few years ago and sold. I just picked up a 92 K75S. Upgraded some things and working on front springs. Purchased Racetech springs but came with no instructions. I would welcome any advice. I love K bikes!

Did you buy your Racetech springs from Racetech, or was it a private sale? If from Racetech, they will be more than happy to help you.

Did you get the cartridge emulators too? When I did my forks I did the springs and emulators together. The emulators do a lot to smooth out the small stuff like concrete joints.

Mine came with a new Progressive rear shock and I feel like it is stiff in back and soggy in front with stock springs. I was going to start by just putting in a heavier fork oil, but the cartridge emulators and springs did wonders for my old Moto Guzzi.
