With that in mind.. 0.85 N/mm is way light.. Are you sure you don't mean 8.5 N/mm? Or Kg/mm?

How much travel does the busa front end have?
I am 100% sure it is Nm

Well, Still think it's light.. Here is you calculator..




0.85 kg/mm would be even a bit light if the travel was say 100mm.. The FXR I have has approximately 1.0kg/mm springs in the Paioli forks and really only about 100mm travel (110 with bottoming hydraulics).. It's borderline on rough roads.. Great on smoother controlled surfaces tho.. But I'm not an expert.

I hope someday I'll be in a position to buy a setup from you, Howard. Thanks for everything you do for us.
