Hi Mrs Ho Har, have a 130 cc that we are preparing for a major trip around OZ, we have bought a piggy back slide on camper with a weight of 800 kgs fully loaded, pick up 22/6/09 from Bundaberg, so we have decided to run with h/d king springs and duel bilstein shocks on the rear....hope it all works...gaz.

I talked to MR Automotive today and they recommended polyairs. They did say the airbag man ones are good but to go with polyairs with my lighter springs. I should have a comfy ride around town but when I load up the springing will be firmer with more air.

I'd always worked on the assumption that the inner springs had to go on a 130 with Poly Airs.
I'm sure I read that in their catalogue or at least somewhere, or am I having one of those moments again.....
