I used springs from Progressive Suspension CA.
I cant find the part no. at present, but the site only lists one for the T100.
These springs seem to be longer than many other progressives - irrational I know, but I liked that

140 mm is the max level recommended (top of leg to oil with leg compressed and spring removed), which was less oil than the Triumph standard level on my bike.

I wanted maximum effect over bumps so went for 170 mm and cut the spacers to 2.75 inches instead of the recommended 3 inches (0.25 inch less pre-load). A bigger air gap should give a slightly softer ride.

Progressive allow you an oil level of >190mm, there seems to be no limit set for this!, but I'm sure there is. :wink:
