Decided to go with Sonic Springs 1.1 kg/cm based on weight. No mention of special guides needed.
Looking to refresh the suspension on my 100,000Km 2006 Fjr1300A. Easiest fork springs to buy in Canada seem to be the Race Tech's. On their website they recommend the "RaceTech Guide Kit" for the FJR. The Canadian Vendor (Fortnine.ca) selling the springs don't have the guides available. My question is Are these guides really necessary with these springs? What is the benefit of them? If required they add quite a bit to the spring price. I also looked at Sonic and Traxxion springs and they don't seem to need special guides but importing them is more expensive.
I have read a lot of fork spring posts but couldn't find any detailing the use of racetech guides.
Thanks
Rick
