As long as you're OK with what you paid...that's all that matters....but they are $550 for standard $496 for heavy duty on Amazon.com
I'm getting ready to buy some myself. I'm 205, ride solo 90% of the time and think I need standard springs. Which springs did you get? Did they set the sag for you or just install out of the box and ride?

I'm 230, this bike is mainly used for 2-up, and I went with standard. They set the sag for me. Man, I wish I would have known they were that cheap on Amazon! It's 4 bolts, and about 15 minutes to install them...

Bro..if you overpaid, but you're happy with the ride--then all is well. Now, if you paid that much and hated them..that's another story. Thank you for the review though--I've been doing a lot of reading lately and trying to look at videos on setting sag on youtube...preparing myself so the install is quick.
