I use stock fork springs at 180lbs... with my race gear at about 45-50lbs of weight.

could you use stiffer springs? Sure. And for $100 if you want to get them, go for it.

Honestly you likely wont notice much if any difference on the street though is my point.

I honestly just want a nice fresh rebuild, that's really it. I figured new springs for my weight since he has them apart.

Moto_Joe · 11-10-2012, 01:22 PM

yeah, a rebuild is probably a good idea. If you ahve the spare $100, go for a set of OEM replacement springs too. Outside that nothing fancy is really needed

that's all I was looking for.

Right, that's my point too

That's why I just wanted to make sure I'm not spending money I really don't have too. I weight 250 without gear; not sure how you wear 45-50 of gear! I just assumed 10lbs give or take. Shift kevlar jeans, leather gloves & jackets, my A* boots, and my helmet, that's close to 10 lbs isn't it?

So much shit to do!

Have to sell my truck/car, washer/dryer plus other random stuff in the house. The whole house has to be painted & I have fix a few sprinkler heads & replace all the carpet downstairs, possibly whole house.

That is more like 25-30lbs

Put it on get on the scale, then take it off and get on the scale.

Leathers are 30-40lbs by themselves.

But it's just a leather jacket...it's really that much

Now I'm going to try it, I've had it all in my arms before and figured that's about 10 lbs or so

**Mr. Fluffer** · 11-10-2012, 01:27 PM

So then I would need to get my suspension set up for 200-210.. Good to know.

I guess'd maybe 20 lbs myself.

I jsut tried it. leathers were less than I thought I remembered them weighing

25-30lbs is what my gear weighs. Just tried it sans under clothes, and gloves and it was 26

Moto_Joe · 11-10-2012, 01:33 PM

I must have been remembering what my work gear weighs, which also doesnt seem like it would be that much but it is.

Is it a rental or a house you own?

**dylanjacobus** · 11-10-2012, 01:48 PM

The good thing about study marathons. Maruchan Cup of Noodles. Mmmmmm.

**MotoMummy** · 11-10-2012, 01:49 PM

I was gonna say Joe...As I was reading your posts...if you have 40lbs for your suit you need to ditch your suit or stop worrying about losing weight LOL.

Moto_Joe · 11-10-2012, 01:51 PM

The more I think about it, I now where I got that 50lb from. Flying. All of my gear in my bag but I also had clothes and shit and it all came close to 50lbs which is where they charge extra for your luggage. Still close to 30. a lot more than people would think
