![]() If you feel your spring is too stiff or soft, its going to be hard to spec what you want & need without at least some form of measurement. Seen a few commercial ones for sale but either no money at the time or too expensive but not hard to make a test station. Been on my to-do list for a long time to make one. Springs are a different story, In theory, you can calculate some specs on wire dia and coil length, but in reality the only test is a compressor gauge. ![]() But seems to me you SHOULD be able to find a shock body of similar dimensions and then put your spring back on that. Depending on what oil is used might help change things. Some shocks can be rebuilt, new seals, and clean it out and fresh oil. If you take apart the shock, the damper assy theres a few tests you can do, but its obvious generally if a shock is working or not, then there is some have different damper rates and in at least one picture it LOOKS like there is a 3 step adjuster? What happens when the spring is removed and you try it in each of the settings? Springers look cool but are usually heavier than stock forks and generally ride like SH*T, So the shock sure helps. Girders and springers with an actual Shock are a nice setup, better than the uncontrolled pogo-ing on undamped forks.
