I have now put about 600 miles on my 05 Ltd Gade 600 and i need a Torsion spring that won,t bottom out on big hits or G-outs like the stock springs.On smaller bumps at sain speeds i love the ride though.I weigh 145 lbs without gear and after doing a search on the subject it seems that there are two springs choices.
1) 140-190* 443/445 95 Degree
2) 180-230* 522/524 90 Degree
I am with the idea that you want a low preload type spring that is thicker dia.
Not sure about the angle though.Brenagade if you read this i know you changed springs in your ltd Gade and have now got some good miles on testing.Did you consider the 443/445 springs.I set my sled up with 2.5 inches sag with me on the sled and the stock torsions are on 1.Coupler blocks are against the rear pads and thick end facing down.I was going to turn up the torsion springs but i know that this will not solve my problem and only make the ride harsher on small bumps.
Man ive learned alot about suspensions on this site.Thanks for any advise before i place the order.Squirt
