What is the Busa's spring weight?

Did a search and it turned up nothing. Just wondering what the Busa shock spring's weight is? 600lb's? More? Thanks, D

I'm just a little confused... do you mean the sprung weight, the weight of the bike that's being held up by the shocks? If so, it's the gross weight of the bike minus the tires and the wheels. Someone should know how much the tires with the wheels on weigh.

I mean what is the spring rate. If I was going to buy a Eibach spring for it and wanted something stiffer what is the starting point? What is the spring rate of a stock shocks spring?

Bump, someone has to know the spring rate here? Please!!!

I don't know that actually. But are you looking to change the shocks or something? If so, most manufacturers of aftermarket shocks will recommend a certain shock for a certain bike. They figure out all the spring stiffness stuff on their own so we can just buy their recommendation. Short of that, I dont know what to tell ya. Sorry, man.
