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!

Here is my bike waiting for me to install the new springs. So far some stuff painted, battery, plugs, gaskets, oil, coolant. Still need to do splines and whatever else is needed. 44k

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.

Welcome!  What are your questions?

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.

I just ordered the emulators today. I read your post yesterday along with a few others. The fork rebuild continues! Appreciate it.

Good luck!  I'm sure you'll like the way the Race Tech stuff makes the bike feel.

Thanks!

Would love to hear how this upgrade goes and how it affects your ride.  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.
