I have today taken the fork legs off my Sporty to get RaceTech springs fitted. I'm having them matched to my weight by my local friendly dealer. IMHO it pays to talk to a dealer to get expert advice and the right weight springs.

Progressive springs is what you need. And they come in many different lengths. Just look them up on internet. You will find all the info you need there.
