Para045 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 So I have finally received my 95 CBR900RR shock that I got of eBay, now I just need a spring rated for my heavy 130kg ( 300lb ) frame. After lots of checking on different threads it seems that getting one rated for my weight is the hard part, I seem to be down to either a special Eibach ERS 0600-225-1100 ( 6"x 2.25"x 1100lb ) spring that is apparently from their auto division or a Hyperpro progressive. I am waiting for the local suspension company to get me a price for the Eibach ( found one on LE engineering site but with postage and conversion she ends up at $ 260 AUD ). The Hyperpro distributor has quoted me $ 200 AUD for a Hyperpro but I am looking at 6-8 weeks wait to get one :icon_wall: Basically what I want to know is how you big guys with Hyperpro shock springs are finding them and whether I wait 8+ weeks for my shock to be done or go with the Eibach ERS ( depending on price ). BTW I like the sound of the Hyperpro progressive springs as I think they may be a bit better in the way they work in regards to my bad back ( couldn't get much worse than the stocker ) I just want the opinions of some other large riders ( J Bowen, PA Pete ? ) after some time with the Hyperpro.

airborneXX Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I'm about 185 lbs. and my wife is about 120 lbs. So that's pretty close to your weight We both noticed a huge improvement in the ride. I put the HP spring on a low mileage XX shock. It rides and handles about the same wether I'm alone or two up, where with the stock spring there was a huge difference.

Dion Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I just happen to have a Hyperpro for the XX that I never installed. Since I'll be installing the Wilbur I don't need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Para045 Posted November 4, 2006 Author Share Posted November 4, 2006 I just happen to have a Hyperpro for the XX that I never installed. Since I'll be installing the Wilbur I don't need it. Is that a Hyperpro spring for a stock xx shock or a 900RR shock and what do you want for it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
