I was wondering if the Progressive fork springs are worth $75.00? The original ones seem a little soft. Are the Progessive springs stifffer than OEM?
Thanks

Yep.... all my Honda ATC's have Progressive Springs. BikeBandit had a special on them this summer.... $62. They are 'progressive'... so the the 'k' value of the spring (N/mm) increases as they are compressed. This means that they are "soft" under light bumps/compression but "hard" landings will be taken easier with less bottoming out as the spring is stiffer.
