[Q] Should I buy these progressive springs?

 

 From a Craigs ad:

--------------------------------------------------------
Hagon Progressive Fork Springs for New Bonneville - $75 (North Vancouver)

HAGON BCC-022 Progressive Fork Springs are designed specifically for
the new Bonneville for improved handling and ride.

The progressive winding means that as the suspension becomes compressed
the spring rate increases.

For all 2001 to 2008 Triumph Bonneville Standard, or T100 model.
------------------------------------------------------------

Would it be worth my while going for these?
Advice appreciated, SQ

 

Now that I've figured out that when "off-road" doesn't mean
"dirt" it means "track", I bought some genuine Triumph
off-road cans for the Thruxton. You can see daylight
right throught them, like a tunnel with holes all along
the sides. They're the same size and shape as stock mufflers,
however, but supposedly give a more pleasing sound.
Will soon find out.

Depends on what you weigh, whether the springs are *true progressive"
or just dual rate, and *how hard you ride*.

There's a slight but easy-to-define difference between "Progressive"
and "Psychotic".

"Progressives" don't believe that there's a world-wide Jewish
conspiracy which masterminded the demolition of the WTC on 9/11 and
blamed it on fictitious Muslim radicals.

Alas, that leaves only "Psychotic".
