Foot brake return spring or front fork spring?

You could add a cylindrical slug of steel or even an additional short spring to increase the preload. That would have the effect of having a stiffer spring.

Front fork springs.
Looking for a guy that was selling them.
I did try the spacer idea,but could not get the tube up high enough to screw in the top cap. I was only trying a 1" spacer. Those dam head light brackets on each fork keg prohibit being able to pull up the top of the leg to screw in the top cap.
There are some front fork units on e bay but don't seem to be any stiffer than stock. What this means you can't go longer,you need to go stiffer& if possible, progressive.
Anyone know the seller of the springs that was hanging out on site?

I bought some from a guy who makes em in Canada about six years ago. Can’t remember how I came across him. Those dr atv forks might be an option. Not sure on the specs with them tho

I believe a guy in the US going by Gismo sells/sold them. Can't find him.

I have a heavy duty set on the bike now from dratv. All is well

I believe Gizmo migrated to groups.io .
