Ok, looking at as many part numbers as I could stomach...the stock GSXR1000 05-06 use a .95 spring rate, in the same diameter and length (basically the same spring you'd order from some place like Racetech in a .95 rate). If not, let me know. Well, I have a set of GSXR1000 forks from my buddies ride, the same ones I used for the how-to rebuild your forks docu-photo post I done in the "Maintenance Do It Yourself" forum. The forks lower tubes are bent from an accident he had, with about 3,000miles on the bike. I have the forks, and was about to toss them, but thought I would post up and see if anyone wants to upgrade their Busa fork springs for cheap, I can pull them out, clean them up and send them off to you, just pay for shipping.
When I rebuilt my forks, it cost something like $164 for springs, seals, dust wipers and fork oil (springs being $110 of that cost). So, you could throw these springs in and have a better handling Busa for ultra-cheap. If needed, I could send the home-made fork tools as well, but for the cost of shipping you can make your own (also posted in my sticky).
I am not a master parts kind of guy, but again, I looked at several sites, which list the same PN for .95 springs for GSXR1000 and the Busa. So, I feel safe in thinking this "upgrade" would be a good deal for someone. I can have the springs out and shipped this w/e. If anyone would like the upper tubes, valves etc just let me know. The donor was a 2005 GSXR1000 with around 3k miles on them, and again the lower tubes are bent, so we wont be using them, better to help others out rather than send it all to the dump.
