> Hi! Do You sell or do you know of a softer rear shock spring for thestock

KLR 650 rear shock? For my weight and useage the stock springon minimum preload is stiffer than I want.Also with lowering linksand stock muffler will I have clearance problems with 130/90/17street tires? I havent found matching front and rear street onlytires available in 90/90/21 with 130/80/17 rear. _______________ all you have to do is to raise your hand and you'll receive about 500 used shock springs from listers who've jettisoned theirs...seriously, yours is the first request I can remember for a lighter spring. I'd call Mike Walburn at Dual Star to see what he thinks. Mike is going to be the exclusive supplier for a spring/shock setup that is 11/2 inches shorter than the stock. It will eliminate the need for lowering links and will lower the bike and limit travel so clearance problems shouldn't be an issue. I doubt you will have clearance problems with the links. The only problems I had were with my MT-21's...a very aggressive off-road tire. Here is a link to Gino's Laser Pro Duro review www.xmission.com/~ajax/index.html ...I haven't heard from Fred on the latest concerning his attempts to become a dealer...Fred? Kurt

Unless things have changed in the past couple years... Metzler made a couple street only tires I loved: ME-33 laser on the front and ME-1 Comp-K on the back... I think that's what they were. They stick like absolute velcro! Mileage isn't that great on the comp-K but then high mileage shouldn't be the primary criteria of a "good" bike tire. Jim Barthell

wow 60 bucks! is that a front tire? i had a set of these on my klr. i ran about 30 psi, and did mostly road. they were good tires. i think they are comparable and maybe slightly better then the gripsters but ive been going with avons because they are cheaper. --- Van wrote:
