    Has anyone tried out the Heavy Duty (PS 03-1368C) springs on the rear shocks of an XJ650 Seca? Their HD shocks have a rate of 105/150 and I weigh around 200 lbs. Most of my riding is solo.

    I had those on my bike previously and it is a very firm ride
    Going fast it's ok but the standard spring I have now is better
    Ps keep them waxed and clean because the chrome on them is terrible

    Did you change back to the standard progressive shock or stock Yamaha shock?

    Stock Yamaha shock? Does anyone use these now? I would expect they’re all dead?
