Anyone upgrade there Sprint ST to Wilbers shock and fork springs? Curious on how this setup is.

I am shocked to see no one has done this upgrade to their bikes. ANYONE??

[amrehm]

Yes, I have upgraded springs & rear shock. I'm very pleased. I had my dealer do the install. I had done a post on this some time ago. I'll look for it to send a link or I'll post pics again later when I get more time.

Try doing a search on "wilbers" or "1050 suspension." I'm pretty sure thats what I posted it under.

I have also done the fork and rear shock upgrade....well worth the money. It makes the bike more ridable with luggage. I had the stock suspension set to the best of its ability but is just wasn't enough. So before the Cape Brenton trip in June I upgraded...and it was well worth it. Even helped out with 2 up since my better 1/2 likes to ride with me.

Ricster,
you will find pleny of folks here have upgraded the rear shock and front end including myself but not necessarilly with a Wilburs unit or fork springs.

On my '04 955 Sprint I have had my Showa stock rear shock completely rebuilt by an Australian Motorcycle suspension specialist including revalving etc.
At the front I run 10wt oil with greater volume.

This set up cost me very little and provides amazing handling compared to the stock set up.
