Default Single rate fork springs

Does anybody know of any company that makes single rate fork springs for the dyna's with the 49mm forks? (traxxion are the only ones I've found, so far)

I verified through race tech that the springs they make for the dyna are progressive. I know Brian at ricor said he used a single rate from them but it was listed for a v-rod.
I haven't verification from him on what the part number is...

I have the ricor intimidators and even though they work great with the stock progressive springs...they are suppose to be awesome with the single rate spring properly set up. They also make it for your weight.

Single rate springs remove a variable in suspension tuning. Compression and rebound damping can be dialed in more precisely for a single rate spring than for one that varies relative to travel.

Have you priced out the Traxxion springs ? Or heard good or bad things about them ?

I would go with traxxion springs right now except for the fact that a forum member here ordered some and they sent bagger springs after he repeated like 3 times specifically what he wanted.

He finally got the right springs, but i was a 5 month ordeal. I'm trying to keep calm these days and don't need those kind of problems.

The price were just a few bucks over 100 so that wasn't the issue
