gasgas23 Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Hi, Im trying to get some springs for the shock and the forks on a 2003 Gas Gas 280 pro. Ideally i would like to get stiffer springs as i am 13 stone before kit. I got told by a gas gas dealer to go through K tech suspension. But i emailed them and they said they don't do trials suspension. Any help would be awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telecat Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Given where you are I'd try BVM-Moto in Stroud. I'm not sure what rear shock you have but Ohlins do rated springs that can fit Sachs shocks as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheeliebealie Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 I rang Gas Gas UK a couple of months ago for hte very same thing, OM me and I'll send you a contact where you can get a stiffer replacement Ohlins spring and spacer, you need the spacer/adaptor because the OEM spring is tapered. Cost me £55 for spring, spacer as p&p - Ordered Tuesday afternoon, was delivered Wednesday lunchtime - Result! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sting32 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 in 2003 (unless some previous or this owner changed it) the shock should be a Sachs shock, not Ohlins... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmseven Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 (edited) in 2003 (unless some previous or this owner changed it) the shock should be a Sachs shock, not Ohlins... Hence the need for the spacer mentioned above to enable fitting of an Ohlins spring to a Sachs shock Edited October 10, 2012 by bmseven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be the small print that catches my eye, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
