yoRt, I'm not really worried about bottoming out and just have the original springs on. But it is something I should do as I have bottomed out going over large pot holes that seem to exist everywhere in California. If you have a good recommendation on where to get some better springs that fit these forks let me know.
Cheers
Be sure to check out the latest build thread over in Cafe Racers! It will be the same style, but much cleaner and will be up for sale once it's complete. My best friend from school and I are doing an extensive sandblasting and refinishing job on all the metal parts. I'm doing the welding myself, once I practice a bit more. I recently purchased a lincoln 135 pro off craigslist!
