Spring rates front forks Laverda 1000

As said, it is the rate, not the length of the spring that holds the bike up. 
On track-bikes it is unusual to use progressive springs and I don?t know the effect on overall spring rate with them. The heavier windings are compressing at the same time as the lighter ones. You could probably calculate it out from percentages. However that is theory, best for you now to get the practice bit underway before you start tying your brain in knots  :)
I?m off for a 2 day SF2 experience now, making the most of the summer we have been lucky to get this year.
 
Yea, good advice Lee. Go ride and then see what's going on. Old mate Walter at YSS suggested the early part of compression/braking would benefit from the refit, but we will see. 
Enjoy your SF days in fine weather, and thanks

Ay, ring Greg at ASR and tell him you want the suspension book if you don't already have it, $35 delivered, it will confuse the fuck out of you but the more times I read it the more I start to grasp it. Ive bought 2 so far, people keep "borrowing" them
 
will get exact same fork conversion at Redax as at Steve Wood and a lot cheaper plus you know what to bring for discount rates
