Question Suspension components and others

I'm looking to install a centerstand on my bike along with upgrading the suspension.
The SW Motech stand looks like the highest quality unit out there (supposedly the Triumph stand is WEAK!). any thoughts or "reviews".

As far as a rear shock and fork springs, I'm pretty much out to sea. I ride almost exclusively on pavement, with some packed dirt and gravel roads thrown in, so I'm looking for some stiffness (insert joke here!). Am I better off with progressive rate springs or linear, and where could I get a hold of some?

The rear shock is a mystery as well. Does Ohlin make a shock for the '02 Tiger? Will I be living on bread and water to afford it? Are there other brands out there.

I have a number of goodies on the bike (all great), and hope to keep the streak alive. any help would be gratefully accepted!!!

Welcome CJ, you've asked a few questions there, and there will be a few answers as well, but if you don't get what you want, you can use the search function in the tool bar at the top of the page. It's pretty good and will give you plenty to think about.

Mick
