Has anyone used these prog fork springs and if so how did you find them in the storm? Had nice results using them in RF900s.

Yeah, I've fitted several sets over the years, nice action and well worth the asking price.
Coupled with 7.5 weight oil and a 135 or 130 or so air gap they work well straight out the box.

Recommended.

Ive always been a fan.
Like you,, I had them in an RF 900 and since then I've also put them in the Firestorm and the SP.
They just work :thumbup:
I'd love to try a back to back test against a set of Rogered forks and get some real feed back :think:

Interesting .. im looking at options for this at the mo .. can you guys say what kind of riding you do just road or odd track day ?? .. im wanting to put in a set of usd forks next year maybe but got the original forks in pieces for a rebuild and have been told the valving really needs changed rather than the spring .. however that comes from the rebuilders and i guess they would say that .. lol
what other mods or changes did you guys do aswell as the hyperpro springs.
cheers

Geordie,
I do fast road and the odd track day, and still have the std front end on mine with the following mods:

uprated linear springs to suit my weight, 7.5wt oil, Roger D mods [rebound adjuster taper, extra drill hole in the main tube and I think he modified the shim stack]. then I added a fork brace.

end results are a major transformation to the front end, and the speed at which it starts to get out of shape has gone up by over 20mph.

if I were to fit USD front end, it would still need to have the spring / damping modified to suit, so I am more than Happy with the way it works now, especially with the Nitron rear shock
