    Hi!

    As title says I'm looking for a place to get Öhlins springs for my CR390 1980, as I currently have 50mm of sag, which is about 100mm less from what I would like.

    My current springs are:

    Mainspring:
    245mm - 8mm

    Short spring:
    90mm - 6.5mm

    I weigh 74kg/163lbs in normal clothes.

    can you shift the spring height collars to give more sag?

    Yes, as suprize says. And can you post up free and rider sag? That's the key... cuz your weight is pretty close to stock setting.

    You need to setup for your weight in full riding attire. Helmet, boots, safety (neck, shoulder, etc...).

    I know, moving the sag up to the most loose postion is however not going to get me the last 50mm.

    I'd just like a source for springs :)

    Call Jerry Wohlgemuth at Ohlins USA. But... the advice you’re getting is because 50mm sag indicates something more than springs is seriously messed up. Either your measurement technique or the wrong springs or shocks or internals. These bikes are too soft, if anything.
