These work pretty well for shortening a Honda CR-80 fork from the mid 80's if you're a bit creative. You'll need to fab up some spacers, and they're a little smaller in diameter so they might bang around inside the fork tubes a bit. Stick some washers on top to make sure they make good contact with the end caps, and away you gooooo!
These are much, much stiffer than the stock springs I cut down (which were like wet noodles), and they work a hell of a lot better.

Fits in Stock Magnum hydraulic forks

Put these in my stock hydraulic Magnum forks fit perfectly definitely way stiffer than stock.. Same length at 16.5. Also added 20w50 oil to the forks for awesomeness... Stopped my nose dive while braking and helped my front end handle the added weight of my lifan. Check your oil in ur forks if you just want to get a little stiffer my right tube had none and left tube had 1.5oz while the repair manual calls for 4oz of 20w30

This springs are thicker and have 5 more coils at the same length as stock. They are great when using disc brake as you do not get the dip in front end on heavy braking. Handling is also better in turns. Do wait get them now and feel the burn!
