Workshop manual lists both measurements.

i had a look and cant find the spring rate for white purple
but they will be at guess in in the 170lb per in of travel, King springs 2in lift springs are 190lb per in.
but they will also do custom springs so ill be ordering a set of 150's for mine soon

Ah my bad. Now that I think about it, I think it was rather a case that I ignore the hub to guard measurements as I have cut guards with White Tiger flares so they're irrelevant to me.

Bugger, I've been trying to find out the rates too.

Just to revive this thread. Measured centre of wheel to guard this morning - 450mm

Have some Kings and Bilsteins awaiting installation. Can't wait! [thumbsupbig]

Do you have them installed ?

Are you happy with the ride ?

I need to get some new springs soon and am thinking kings+2, as I'm setting up for short touring trips, but wondering what shocks will suit me best...

Maybe my expectations were a little high, but they seem a bit stiff. In saying that, the ride is pretty good, and massively different to riding on bumpstops :)

Oh and I gained 50mm - so I'm now at the required height of 500mm from hub to guard [biggrin]
