single coil spring forks

[Fowler]

I really like the look of the single coil spring.

Are they just coil springs from a car?

Wouldn't that bounce a lot with no shock?

 

[Jack Klarich]

Good question

My guess is modern springers probably use a variable rate spring, akin to a Moog car spring

On my old Paugho Springer the lower rockers ( off the front axles) absorbed the bounce since there was no shock for dampening

The longer the rocker the MORE dampening

Thats my story and I'm stickin 2 it

Bob, I think i might see a shock in the middle of the springs on both forks?????

You are correct Larry they are both coil over.

 

[Fowler]

your eyes are better tan mine. To me it looks like the other leg of the fork.

Being coil overs would make scene. Although it would be a big coilover

Yes, they both look like coil overs, but second one looks like modified car McPherson strut to me
