Heavier spring, perhaps a progressive - and heavier wt oil!

you might try Dave Quinn suspensions as I recall him mentioning that he has a line of fork springs available also.

There are two types of forks (in possibly 3 lengths) for the T300 sport touring bikes. The Daytonas have fully adjustable forks (compression, rebound, preload) and the rest of the line, Tridents included, save for the Sprint Sport have nonadjustable forks. The springs might interchange depending on the manufacturer (Race Tech shows some common numbers through the line), damper kits will not interchange.

It would be advised to get suspension upgrades designed for your bike, there are plenty of them out there.

Right. I was going to suggest Racetech (I have 'em in my Speed Triple) but they don't supply various springs for the Trident according to their website. Might be worth a call though. You might just add some spacers to yield around 40 - 50 mm of total sag...

I'd call Racetech, too. I put in springs, emulators, and oil on their recommendation, and love the results.
