anybody know of availability of after market fork springs for cbr 600,
my bike nose dives severely under braking , setting the copression harder make bike skip badly at high speed . I also have a fazer which has progressive springs "I diden't fit them" and it is great handling all round,
hardly ant dive when braking .

if you think thats expensive you shouldnt have bought a bike and not expect to have a empty wallet.
theres cheaper options available but it depends on your bike and its age,condition,type of riding etc.
my 916 is running std forks with ohlins internals and there fantastic,no need to spend out on ohlins forks for me
dont forget that as well as springs you'll need to allow money for seals, fork oil and also labour costs so probably not much change from £150
