I'm currently building a Imola replica from a '75 860GT, and I'd like to upgrade the forks a bit as I intend to ride the bike pretty hard. The stock Cerrani's look like they'll leave me disappointed when pushing the bike through it's paces.

I'm open to any ideas, but I'm thinking I should be looking for a M1R fork or old race fork. Something with some rebound dampers, but period if possible - I'm trying to get some good adjustability/performance without having to update to an upside down fork.

Ideas?

simplest thing to do is install our works performance spring upgrade, rebuild with new seals & wipers, use motul sully synthetic fork oil and go enjoy. I ride mine pretty damn hard and the forks have never been the weak link in the whole deal..

Thanks Steve,

Can you provide a link to the product?

hello, can you explain why the dual rate springs are better than a progressive spring replacement?
cheers

easily. two separate springs each with it's own rate, then add to the mix the ability to precisely adjust at which point you cross over from riding on the soft spring to where the stiffer spring takes over.

OK - but why is it better to cross from one distinct rate to another distinct rate rather than having a progressive rate transition? What you have is 2 rates (hard, soft) versus a theoretically infinite number of rates with a progressive setup (hard, soft and continuously variable rate in between). This is the same general principle as a rising rate rear suspension although the outcome is achieved by different means.
Cheers

Ride the two back to back and you will feel what the difference it. I tried every brand fork spring kit I could find... This one felt the best
